Recount Drama: From 14-11 to 13-12
Counting stretched late into the night. Satej Patil’s panel was first shown leading 14-11. After a recount in one seat, Sachin Ghorpade of the Samvichari Aghadi, who had been declared elected, lost and Mahayuti’s Amar Patil (Kodoli) was declared the winner, making the final tally 13-12. Satej Patil sat at the counting centre for about two and a half hours, alleging that the declaration was being delayed. Recount applications filed by Mahayuti’s Vishwas Patil and Yuvraj Patil were rejected by the returning officer.

Why 13 Seats Were Not Enough
Electing a Gokul chairman needs a quorum of 14 directors. With only 13, Satej Patil’s panel could not hold the chairman election on its own when the 12 Mahayuti directors stayed away on 29 October. That deadlock led to the government ordinance and the four nominated directors, who eventually tilted the chairman vote 16-13 in favour of Mahayuti’s Rajesh Patil.
