The MVA’s debilitating loss and within that the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP)'s poor performance raises a question: What is the party's future considering he is at a ripe age of 83 years?

In the Baramati constituency, Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar is heading for a significant victory over his nephew, Yugendra Pawar. As per the latest trends, Ajit Pawar is leading by a substantial margin,

Ajit-Pawar-led NCP had won 40 seats and was leading in one more as of 9 pm. Of 37 seats where the two factions faced each other, Ajit Pawar faction won 29.

The Ajit Pawar-led NCP has defeated the NCP (SP) headed by his uncle Sharad Pawar in 29 seats in the contest between the two rival factions in the Maharashtra assembly elections.

Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Saturday defeated his uncle Sharad Pawar's NCP(SP) in 29 seats in the Maharashtra assembly election, months after the former's rebellion prompted a vertical split in the party.

Sharad Pawar’s faction may have garnered a higher vote share at 11.29 percent compared to Ajit Pawar’s 9.01 percent, but this support didn’t translate into seats.

Dy CM Ajit Pawar has held on to Baramati assembly seat since 1991. He lost the first round in NCP vs NCP fight when his wife Sunetra lost to Supriya Sule in Lok Sabha elections.
