Rahul Narwekar, who previously held the position for two and a half years during the 14th Assembly, was re-elected from the Colaba constituency in the recent state elections. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance chose not to contest the Speaker’s election, paving the way for Narwekar’s unopposed victory.

During his previous tenure, Rahul Narwekar had made significant rulings, recognizing the Eknath Shinde-led faction as the legitimate Shiv Sena and the Ajit Pawar-led faction as the real Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

The recently concluded Assembly elections saw a landslide victory for the Mahayuti coalition, with over 230 seats. The MVA alliance secured only 46 seats.
