The 2019 elections initially brought the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to power. However, a series of alliances and splits led to the formation of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government headed by Uddhav Thackeray.
This government was later dissolved after internal shifts led to the formation of the Mahayuti, consisting of the Shinde-led Sena and the BJP, with Eknath Shinde as chief minister. In the last Assembly elections, the Karvir constituency saw P.N. Patil (Sadolikar) of the Indian National Congress win with a margin of 22,661 votes. A total of 255,129 votes were cast out of 302,659 registered voters.
This constituency, numbered 274, has a total of 3,251,192 registered voters.
Other minor parties, including Swatantra Bharat Paksha (STBP), Indian Secular Largest Assembly of Maharashtra (DISECL), CPI(M), Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA), and Rajarshi Shahu Vikas Aghadi (RSVA) are leading in one seat each.
