Sunetra Pawar Wins Baramati By-Election by Record Margin

Date: May 2026

In one of the most politically significant strongholds of Maharashtra, Baramati, Sunetra Pawar—senior leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP - Ajit Pawar faction) and Deputy Chief Minister of the state—has secured a historic victory in the assembly by-election.

She defeated her nearest rival by a massive margin of 218,930 votes, not only registering a landslide win but also surpassing the historic record set by her late husband Ajit Pawar in 2019.

This decisive victory further strengthens her political standing and reinforces the dominance of the Pawar family in Baramati, a key political bastion in Maharashtra.
