MATRIZE has predicted 150-170 seats while MVA to get 110-130 seats. As per the prediction, MahaYuti seems to be leading in the state and will be able to form the government for the second time.

Voting was held on all the 288 assembly seats in the state in a single phase on Wednesday, November 20.

The MahaYuti-led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde consists of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), NCP Ajit Pawar faction and Shiv Sena Eknath Shinde faction.
The exit poll results predicted the number of seats which the parties are likely to get in the Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024.
