Nana Patole of the Congress and Avinash Anandrao Brahmankar of the BJP in Maharashtra's 2024 Assembly elections. With a polling date of 20 November and results to be announced on 23 November, this rural constituency has drawn attention due to its strategic importance and evolving political landscape.
Nana Patole, a four-time legislator and current Maharashtra Congress president, is a central figure in this race. A former BJP leader, Patole parted ways with the party in 2017, citing disagreements over farmer issues. He remarked during his departure, «The government has failed to address the concerns of farmers, and I cannot remain silent.» Patole joined the Congress and successfully reclaimed the Sakoli seat in 2019.
Avinash Anandrao Brahmankar, representing the BJP, is seeking to reclaim the constituency for his party. He enters the fray as part of the Mahayuti alliance, comprising BJP, Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar's NCP faction.
Thirteen candidates contested the Sakoli seat in 2024, reflecting the constituency’s diverse political interests. Prominent names include:
