Former NCP MLA Nitin Patil is leading campaigns for the NCP-BJP alliance, supporting a mayoral candidate and 24 councilor candidates.

Congress former MLA and state general secretary Namdev Pawar has joined the campaign with his family, focusing on voter connections and influence in traditional strongholds.
