BMC Election Result 2026: ‘Figures Don’t Match,’ Says Sanjay Raut as Shiv Sena (UBT) questions counting process

BMC Election Result 2026: Senior Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has disputed the trends coming from the BMC Elections 2022 counting centres on Friday and claimed that the early figures released by the election panel were “fake”. Speaking outside a counting centre on Friday, Raut claimed that trends of the BMC polls being shown on various portals were “fake” and said, “Our election result may lead to a tie.”

Raut further stated that as per their calculations, they have performed better than what has been indicated through the trends on public portals. The counting of votes for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Elections began at 8 am on Friday. “We have leads in many booths where we are being shown behind. We will file complaints about this in the election office,” he added.

“In our calculation there is going to be a tie. They will say tomorrow that someone has won but at this point we cannot say that,” he claimed. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader also said that “something is definitely wrong” with the counting of votes.
