BJP's Rahul Narwekar was elected unopposed as the speaker of the 15th Maharashtra Assembly. The Maha Vikas Aghadi chose not to contest. Narwekar previously recognized the Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar factions as the legitimate Shiv Sena and NCP, respectively. The Mahayuti coalition secured a resounding victory in the recent elections, winning over 230 seats.
