Maharashtra civic elections results 2017: From counting date to time - All details here

Mumbai: All eyes are on the outcome of the fiercely-fought Maharashtra civic elections results.

The counting for polls to 10 municipal corporations and 25 zilla parishads across Maharashtra begins on Thursday morning.

The counting of votes will begin at 10 AM.

BJP and its bickering ally in the state government Shiv Sena, who could not form an alliance for the civic poll in the megapolis or elsewhere this time, fought keenly, lashing out freely at each other during the bitter campaign.

The stakes are high for Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray, who led their respective parties from the front and were involved in a no-holds-barred campaign, relegating the Opposition Congress, the NCP and other players like the MNS and the AIMIM to the background.

10 municipal corporations

Apart from Mumbai, the municipal corporations which went to the polls were Thane, Ulhasnagar, Nashik, Pune, Pimpri- Chinchwad, Solapur, Akola, Amravati and Nagpur.

In Mumbai, there were 2,275 candidates and 92 lakh voters.
