Ajit Pawar’s Seat Heads To Bypoll: Final Voter List For Baramati Published By Pune District Collector Jitendra DudiBaramati Bypoll...
The Baramati assembly by-election, scheduled for 23rd April 2026, was triggered by the tragic passing of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in a plane crash. Sunetra Pawar, representing the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), filed her nomination on 6th April 2026 in a high-profile rally attended by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
While some leaders (mainly from Mahayuti) called for an unopposed election out of respect, the Indian National Congress party has fielded Advocate Akash More to contest the seat. Notably, NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP) has chosen not to field a candidate, though Sharad Pawar clarified he will not campaign for his daughter-in-law, Sunetra.
