Pune: Vasant More Breaks Silence On Defeat, Explains Poll Loss In Facebook Live After Results
Pune, January 17, 2026: Former Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Vasant More, who had recently joined the Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray, has suffered a significant electoral setback. More, along with his son, contested the elections on the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) ticket, but both candidates were defeated by a wide margin, dealing a blow to the party’s expectations in the constituency.
The twin defeats have drawn political attention, particularly as Vasant More’s shift from the MNS to the Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) was seen as a strategic move ahead of the polls. However, the election results indicate that the transition failed to translate into voter support on the ground, with rivals securing a decisive lead.
Following the declaration of results, Vasant More addressed supporters through a Facebook Live session, where he shared detailed voting figures and acknowledged the outcome. During the live broadcast, he spoke candidly about the numbers, offering his perspective on the defeat and the lessons to be drawn from the verdict.
The loss of both father and son in the same election has sparked discussions within political circles about leadership shifts, grassroots connect, and voter sentiment. As parties assess the results, the outcome is being viewed as a reminder that political realignments do not always guarantee electoral success.
