A high-stakes political contest is brewing in Mumbai's Mahim assembly seat, slated for November 20, where three factions of the Sena will vie for victory.

The race features Maharashtra's ruling Shiv Sena, the opposition Shiv Sena (UBT), and Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). The Mahim constituency holds historical significance as the birthplace of the undivided Shiv Sena in 1966.

Amit Thackeray, son of MNS president Raj Thackeray, makes his election debut, while current Shiv Sena has fielded sitting MLA Sada Sarvankar, and Sena (UBT) has nominated Mahesh Sawant. The closely watched contest underscores the layered political history linking the factions.
