Pradeep Balkrishna Sawant, Yuva Sena’s open category candidate, achieved his third consecutive win in the Mumbai University Registered Graduates Constituency, receiving over 1,338 first-preference votes. Milind Satam followed closely, winning with 1,246 votes in the same constituency, while Alpesh Bhoir from Vashi triumphed with 1,137 votes. Yuva Sena’s Shashikant Zore also achieved a hat-trick victory, leading to a sweeping success in the reserved constituencies. All five Yuva Sena candidates in these categories were declared winners, reinforcing the party’s dominance in Mumbai University’s electoral landscape.

The elections for the Mumbai University Registered Graduates Constituency were held on September 24, following a two-year delay after the previous senate’s term ended in August 2022.
