In a significant win for the Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray faction, Varun Sardesai, the UBT-Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) candidate, emerged victorious in the Bandra East constituency. Sardesai, who is also the cousin of Aaditya Thackeray defeated Zeeshan Siddique, the candidate fielded from the NCP Ajit Pawar—Mahayuti faction, marking a major victory for the party and its leadership.

Zeeshan Siddique is the son of the recently assassinated Baba Siddique, and who contested from the NCP-Ajit Pawar faction. The seat was one of the most watched this election and Siddique had won it back in 2019 when he had contested the Bandra East assembly constituency and defeated former Mumbai mayor—Vishwanath Mahadeshwar by a margin of 5,790 votes.
