Live : Mumbai North East Assembly Election 2019

In the Lok Sabha elections 2014, the Mumbai North East seat witnessed Sanjay Dina Patil, the incumbent Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Member of Parliament, losing to Kirit Somaiya of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kirit Somaiya won the general elections in 2014 with a mammoth margin of 3,17,122 votes. The winner was polled 5,25,285 votes while the runner-up secured 2,08,163 votes.

In a reversal to the 2014 general election results, Sanjay Dina Patil had defeated Kirit Somaiya in 2009 elections.

Mr Somaiya had represented the constituency twice; one before 2014 was in 1999.

Senior Congress leader late Gurudas Kamat had represented the constituency four times (1984, 1991, 1998 and 2004) before the 2008 delimitation of the constituency changed the entire geography of the segment.

Earlier, the constituency was represented twice by BJP leader and former Union Minister Subramanian Swamy (he contested as Janata Party (1980) and BLD (1977) candidate in various times) and Pramod Mahajan, late BJP leader and former Union Minister.

Mumbai North East seat is consisted of six Mahrashtra Assembly segments which are: Mulund, Vikhroli, Bhandup West, Ghatkopar West, Ghatkopar East and Mankhurd.

Mumbai North East constituency will go to polls on April 29 during the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2019.

According to reports, BJP has dropped sitting MP Kirit Somaiya from the Mumbai North East constituency. Instead, Manoj Kotak has been named the BJP candidate there.
