The vote counting for the Worli Assembly constituency in Mumbai City in the Maharashtra Assembly Election begins at 8 AM today. At present, the seat is represented by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Uddhav Thackeray’s son Aaditya Thackeray.

Deora was chosen to contest from high-profile seat because Shinde did not want Thackeray to have a cakewalk, it is learnt. Thackeray's margin has come down drastically from 2019.

In the 2019 Maharashtra assembly election, Aditya Thackeray polled over 69 per cent votes, defeating NCP's Suresh Mane.

The young Thackeray defeated Milind Deora, a former Congress MP who jumped ship and joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in January, with a margin of 8,801 votes. However, this is eight times less than the margin by which he has won in the 2019 Assembly elections.
