Andheri West Assembly constituency (No. 165) forms part of the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha constituency. BJP's Ameet Satam, 48, has received the ticket for the third time from this constituency. He has represented it for the last two terms.
With nearly 2.85 lakh voters, the cosmopolitan constituency covers Juhu, Vile Parle West, DN Nagar, Nehru Nagar, Daulat Nagar, Juhu Koliwada, parts of Santacruz West, parts of Char Bungalow, and parts of Amboli. The constituency includes a mix of affluent, upper-middle-class, and poorer populations, comprising Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Parsi communities.
The current Andheri West constituency was created in 2008 after the delimitation of the Vile Parle constituency. It includes portions of the former Vile Parle and Amboli constituencies. The Congress won the seat in 2009, but has been with the BJP since the last two terms.
In the 2019 election, Satam secured 65,615 votes, defeating Congress candidate Ashok Jadhav by a margin of 18,962 votes. Additionally, 3,103 voters opted for the NOTA (None of the Above) option.
Satam has been actively involved in social and cultural activities and served as personal assistant (PA) to the late Gopinath Munde from 2004-06. He later took on various other responsibilities within the BJP. From 2012-17, he was elected as a municipal councillor. He holds a Master of Management Studies degree, and conferred the 'Outstanding Parliamentarian Award' by the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, in 2020-21.
