Party leaders felt momentum gained by the Shiv Sena in the November assembly polls should be carried forward to the BMC polls.The party won 57 seats in the assembly polls. The Shiv Sena won six assembly seats in Mumbai — all in suburbs — while its main rival Shiv Sena (UBT) emerged victorious in 10 constituents. The undivided Shiv Sena controlled the cash-rich BMC for 25 consecutive years from 1997 to 2022. The term of the previous elected representatives of the BMC ended in early March 2022 and fresh polls are due for nearly three years now.
