With one day remaining for the last day of filing nominations for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has not yet arrived at a consensus on their candidate for the election. Meanwhile, the BJP on Wednesday (March 4, 2026) announced its list of four candidates for Maharashtra.
NCP’s Parth Pawar will file his nomination on Thursday (March 5, 2026), party sources said.
The Rajya Sabha elections are going to be held on March 16. Of the 37 seats from 10 States which will go to polls, seven seats are from Maharashtra. As per the formula and the strength of each alliance, the Mahayuti can get six candidates, while the MVA can get one candidate elected if the opposition arrives at a consensus over the candidate.
If more than seven candidates are fielded, election will be held on March 16.
