In such a situation, all were elected without elections. Earlier, the commission had set the date of election on 21 May. Uddhav Thackeray is completing his 6-month term as Chief Minister on 27 May. Uddhav Thackeray was sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state on November 28, due to which it became necessary for him to be elected as a member of either House of the Legislative Assembly or Legislative Council. The 6-month deadline was about to expire. According to the provisions of the constitution, he was required to be elected a member of any house of the state within 6 months.

Congress’s major contribution in Uddhav’s election

The Congress has played an important role in the uncontested election to the Legislative Council. Because, the Congress had earlier said to field two candidates. However, later the Congress fielded only one candidate. In such a situation there was no need for elections. Congress has fielded 1, BJP 4, NCP 2, Shiv Sena 2 candidates for the 9 seats of the Legislative Council.

CM Uddhav Thackeray was also in the Legislative Council election from Shiv Sena. He is also elected. Earlier on Wednesday, 4 candidates withdrew their names. At the same time, nomination of an independent candidate Shahbaz Rathore was rejected. After this, there were only 9 candidates left in the fray.

These 9 people were elected

NCP: Shashikant Shinde and Amol Mitkari.

Shiv Sena : Chief Ministers Uddhav Thackeray and Neelam Goerhe.
