Seat change

Against Maharashtra's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1978), matched constituency-for-constituency

288SEATS
  • Retained54 (19%)
  • Changed hands215 (75%)
  • New seat19 (7%)

54 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 215 changed hands. 19 did not exist at the previous election.

India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
