Elections for 29 municipal corporations in Maharashtra, including the high-profile Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), are set for January 15, 2026, with over 3.48 crore voters expected to participate. The elections come after a prolonged period of administration due to expired terms, and the political landscape features unusual coalitions, notably between the Thackeray cousins, Raj and Uddhav. Concerns over civic apathy, inadequate infrastructure, and sanitation issues are prominent among voters ahead of the polls.
