Kopri-Pachpakhadi Election Results 2024: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday registered a thumping victory on the Kopri-Pachpakhadi seat in Thane district, securing his fourth consecutive win on the seat. As per the results declared by the Election Commission Of India, Shinde received 1,59,060 votes against Shiv Sena UBT's Kedar Dighe who garnered 38,343 votes after 28 rounds of counting. Eknath Shinde won the Kopri-Pachpakhadi seat in 2009, 2014 and 2019 on a Shiv Sena (undivided) ticket. Kopri-Pachpakhadi is one of the 288 Assembly segments in Maharashtra and is a part of the Thane district. The BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) and NCP Ajit Pawar contested the Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024 together against the opposition's Maha Vikas Aghadi, which comprises of Congress, Shiv Sena UBT and NCP Sharad Pawar. 

Shinde had led a rebellion against the then Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray in 2022 to split the Bal Thackeray-founded party and sided with the BJP to become the CM. While the division triggered a bitter feud between the two Sena factions, he eventually got the party's name and its ‘bow-and-arrow' symbol. Across the state, Shinde's Shiv Sena did spectacularly well. As per the latest figures shared by the Election Commission, Shiv Sena has won 28 and was leading in 29 of the state's 288 seats. It fielded 81 candidates in the November 20 elections. By contrast, Uddhav's Sena (UBT) has won nine seats and was leading in 11 constituencies.
