The Nationalist Congress Party was an Indian political faction under the leadership of Ajit Pawar, splintered from the main Nationalist Congress Party under Sharad Pawar.[3] The faction has currently 41 MLAs from Maharashtra, 7 MLAs from Nagaland, and 2 MPs in Indian Parliament. The faction is currently unrecognised by Election Commission of India.[4]
History
In July 2023, a majority of the elected representatives of the party led by Ajit Pawar joined the National Democratic Alliance government. This caused a direct split between Ajit Pawar and the founder-president of the party Sharad Pawar.[5] On 7 February 2024, the Election Commission of India awarded the party name and symbol to the group headed by Ajit Pawar. The group led by Sharad Pawar will be known as Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar).
