The contest has been closely watched, with both candidates receiving significant support in the region. As votes continue to be counted, the race remains tight, and the outcome could shift in the following rounds.

The final results are expected to be declared after all rounds are accounted for.

Thakur won on a Congress ticket in 1990, then went on to win as an independent in 1995, 1999 and 2004. Since 2014, he has consistently won under the BVA banner. Since 1990, Hitendra Thakur has ruled Vasai as a Congress candidate or an independent, except in 2009.In the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly Elections, Bahujan Vikas Aaghadi (BVA) candidate Hitendra Thakur won the seat with a margin of 25,995 votes. His rival Vijay Govind Patil received 76,955 votes (40.50 %). In the 2014 Assembly Elections, Hitendra Vishnu Thakur from BVA won the seat and polled 97,291 votes with a vote share of 51.04%.
