Seat change
Against Maharashtra's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1980), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained13 (5%)
- Changed hands255 (89%)
- New seat20 (7%)
13 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 255 changed hands. 20 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.
