A seat-sharing agreement has reportedly been finalised between Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena and Raj Thackeray's MNS for next month's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls. NDTV cited sources to claim that the Shiv Sena (UBT) will contest 157 of the BMC's 227 seats, and the MNS will contest the remaining 70. This leaves Sharad Pawar's NCP and Congress with no seats.
