In a decisive verdict at the Malegaon Cooperative Sugar Mill elections, Ajit Pawar's Nilkantheshwar panel secured 20 of 21 seats, consolidating Pawar's political influence in Baramati. This election became a significant prestige issue against his uncle Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP), which ended empty-handed.
