How many votes for which candidate on Vandra East seat?

Uddhav Thackeray faction’s candidate Varun Satish Sardesai got a total of 57 thousand 708 votes in the elections held on Vandra East.

Whereas, MNS candidate Trupti Bala Sawant stood third on this seat. He got a total of 16 thousand 74 votes.

Vandre East assembly seat has been considered the stronghold of Shiv Sena. In the 2019 elections, Zeeshan Siddiqui won a landslide victory as a Congress candidate, breaking the Shiv Sena stronghold. He had defeated Vishwanath Mahadeveshwar of Shiv Sena. His father Baba Siddiqui’s politics and diplomacy were considered to have played an important role in this victory.

Hope of victory through sympathy vote!

However, before the assembly elections in Maharashtra, NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddiqui was murdered. Baba Siddiqui was shot dead on October 12 near Zeeshan Siddiqui’s office. After this, it was believed that after the murder of his father, Zeeshan Siddiqui would win by sympathy vote but it did not happen and he had to face defeat.
