Congress MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui won the seat in the 2019 Assembly election but was later expelled from the Congress over accusations of cross-voting.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP (Ajit) chief Ajit Pawar felicitates Zeeshan Siddique as the latter joins the party and will contest from the Bandra East constituency in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, in Mumbai

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Ajit Pawar group released the second list of seven candidates on Friday (October 25, 2024), bringing total candidates to 45, for the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections. The list includes former Minister Nawab Malik’s daughter Sana Malik to contest from Mumbai’s Anushakti Nagar.

Son of late NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was shot dead earlier this month, Zeeshan Siddique joined the party on Friday in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and will now contest from Bandra East seat. The battle will be between Yuva Sena (UBT) leader Varun Desai and Mr. Siddique.

Congress MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui won the seat in the 2019 Assembly election but was later expelled from Congress over the accusation of cross-voting in Maharashtra legislative council elections. He was also seen participating in Ajit Pawar’s ‘Jan Sanman Yatra’ in Mumbai.

After receiving the ticket, Mr. Zeeshan said, “I was in touch with Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders, and they asked me to wait for a few days, but the seat was given to Shiv Sena (UBT). In my difficult time, I am thankful to Mr. Ajit Pawar and NCP for showing trust in me. I will make sure to win with a record margin.”

Mr. Ajit Pawar called the nomination of Ms. Malik and Mr. Siddique, a part of the 10% reservation for Muslim community candidates that he announced earlier. “Your father’s dream lives through you – I’m with you, every step of the way,” posting on X, Mr. Ajit Pawar said on the nomination of Mr. Siddique.
