As vote counting continues in Maharashtra’s Baramati assembly bypoll, Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader Sunetra Pawar is edging towards an overwhelming victory over her competitors. Her lead, bolstered by the sympathy wave following her husband Ajit Pawar's tragic death, positions her for a notable political triumph.

Apart from Pawar's dominant performance, the Rahuri assembly seat byelection sees BJP's Akshay Kardile leading significantly against NCP (SP) candidate Govind Mokate. Polls for these vacant seats took place on April 23. Sunetra Pawar's appeal to her supporters to forgo victory celebrations underscores her respect for Ajit Pawar’s legacy.

The Baramati assembly seat became vacant earlier this year due to Ajit Pawar's untimely demise in a plane crash, leading to his wife Sunetra's political debut. As NCP’s candidate, she benefits from the support of the ruling Mahayuti alliance and aims to secure her place in the legislative assembly, as constitutional provisions require.
