No Alliance Between NCP SP and NCP Ajit Pawar in PMC Ward 9, Jayesh Murkute Emerges as Strong Local Choice
Pune, Baner: As campaigning gathers pace for the Pune Municipal Corporation elections, Ward 9, Baner, balewadi, Sus, Pashan has drawn attention for a reason unlike any other ward in the city. It is the only ward in Pune where no electoral alliance has been formed between NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), making the contest a direct and open political battle.
While both NCP factions have entered into understandings in several other wards, Ward 9 has remained outside any such arrangement. This absence of alliance has changed the tone of the election here, shifting the focus from party equations to individual candidates and their local credibility.
In this scenario, Jayesh Murkute has emerged as a strong and positive local choice among voters. Known for his consistent presence in the ward, Murkute has built a reputation around accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement with everyday civic issues. From basic infrastructure concerns to coordination with citizens on local problems, his work at the ground level has earned him steady support.
Residents and political observers note that the lack of alliance politics has worked in favour of candidates who enjoy direct public trust. Jayesh Murkute’s campaign is largely centred on ward-specific development, accountability in civic works, and a promise of practical governance rather than factional politics.
With no alliance between the two NCP groups, Ward 9 is witnessing a clear, candidate-driven election between all parties. The outcome here is expected to be closely watched, as it may indicate whether voters prefer individual performance and local leadership over broader political tie-ups in municipal governance.
