Sunetra Pawar, the widow of the late Ajit Pawar, has recorded a landmark victory in the Baramati bypoll, becoming Maharashtra's first female Deputy Chief Minister. Her win comes just three days after taking oath, following her husband's tragic death in a plane crash last January.

The by-election saw Sunetra Pawar secure a record-breaking victory margin, with a total of 2,18,969 votes, triumphing over 22 rivals who barely made a mark. The absence of Opposition MVA candidates served as a tribute to Ajit Pawar, cementing the NCP leader's legacy amidst political upheaval.

Sunetra Pawar, a commerce graduate with a background in social and environmental initiatives, has promised to carry on Ajit Pawar's vision. Her ascent marks a pivotal moment for the Nationalist Congress Party as it navigates a rapidly changing political landscape post-split with the BJP.
