The biennial elections for 11 seats of the Upper House of the state legislature will be held on July 12. The tenure of 11 sitting MLCs will end on July 27.
The party, in a release, named Munde, former MLA Yogesh Tilekar, Parinay Phuke, Amit Gorkhe and Sadabhau Khot as its candidates.
As per the current strength of MLAs, the BJP can win five seats and the Shiv Sena and NCP can win two each. On the other hand, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) can win only two seats. Last week, UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray claimed that MVA could win a third seat and warned ruling parties to keep their MLAs intact. He further said that after the Lok Sabha election, many MLAs are interested in switching the alliance.
