As Mumbai's election campaigns reach their peak, the MVA (Maha Vikas Aghadi) is predicted to have an edge in 20 out of 36 Assembly constituencies, while the Mahayuti holds an advantage in 16. Lok Sabha results from May indicate a tight race, with factors such as local issues, vote polarisation, and candidate performance.

As election campaigns of all political parties reach their peak and there is a neck-to-neck fight in most constituencies in Mumbai, results from the Lok Sabha election in May suggest that the MVA (Maha Vikas Aghadi) may have an edge in 20 out of 36 Assembly seats, while the Mahayuti holds an advantage in 16 seats in the current Assembly election.
Although statistics from the Lok Sabha election cannot precisely predict the outcome, they provide a fair indication. In the 2019 elections, the Assembly-wise Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha results were nearly identical across the state. In the May 2019 general election, undivided Shiv Sena and BJP won all six seats in Mumbai, securing a majority of votes in 30 out of a total of 36 Assembly-wise areas. In the November 2019 Assembly election, BJP won 16 seats, Shiv Sena won 14, Congress secured four, and NCP and SP each won one seat.
