Shirur assembly election results tell the story of one of Pune district’s most fiercely contested constituencies — a seat where the same set of political families and rivals have battled across decades. Located in Pune district, Shirur (constituency number 198) is a General (GEN) category assembly seat that lends its name to the entire Shirur Lok Sabha constituency, which includes Junnar, Ambegaon, Khed Alandi, Shirur, Bhosari, and Hadapsar. The constituency covers areas including Nhavare, Vadgaon Rasai, Talegaon Dhamdhere, Shirur Saja, Karanjwane Saja, and the Shirur municipal council.
The political narrative here has revolved around a long-running rivalry between Baburao Kashinath Pacharne (BJP/INC) and Ashok Raosaheb Pawar (NCP) both having won the seat twice apiece between 1999 and 2019. The 2024 election broke this pattern: following the NCP split, Ashok Pawar moved to NCP (SP) while NCP (Ajit Pawar) fielded newcomer Dnyaneshwar Alias Mauli Aba Katke, who won by a landslide 74,550 votes.
