With an average of 14 candidates per constituency across 288 seats, the fragmented political landscape complicates predictions, particularly in areas with significant Maratha influence, where rival factions of the NCP and Shiv Sena will compete.

Published: Nov 05 2024, 2 pmeznews.inThe upcoming U.S. election is deemed one of the most pivotal in history, with significant global implications.
