Twenty candidates were named in the list, bringing the total declared candidates from the Uddhav Thackeray-led party to 85. The list was announced in parts: in Saamna, the party mouthpiece, in the morning and then late evening.
Late on Saturday, the party in a post on X named former MLA Vinod Ghosalkar as its official candidate from Dahisar and Bhairulal Chaudhary Jain as candidate from Malabar Hill. BJP’s Mangal Prabhat Lodha is the sitting MLA from Malabar Hill.
Sena (UBT) declared former two-term BJP MLA Anil Gote from Dhule city; Gote joined Sena (UBT) this week. Other candidates include Raju Tadvi from Chopada, Jayshree Mahajan from Jalgaon city, Jayshree Shelke from Buldhana, Pawan Jaiswal from Digras, Rupali Patil from Hingoli, Asaram Borade from Partur, Yogesh Gholap from Deolali, Sachin Basre from Kalyan West, Dhananjay Bodore from Kalyan East, former Mumbai mayor Shraddha Jadhav from Wadala, Ajay Chaudhari from Sewri, Manoj Jamsutkar from Byculla, Anuradha Nagawde from Shrigonda, and Sandesh Parkar from Kankavli.
With the second list out, there is a tussle with Congress over two seats in Mumbai, Colaba and Versova, which Sena (UBT) has also claimed, along with a few more seats in the rest of Maharashtra.
After speculation that former Akhil Bhartiya Sena (ABS) corporator Geeta Gawli would contest the assembly polls from Byculla on a Sena (UBT) ticket, the party named former corporator Manoj Jamsutkar for the seat. Jamsutkar was earlier in the Congress.

While former mayor Kishori Pednekar and former corporator Ramakant Rahate were also in the fray, the party picked Jamsutkar as a local face.
