He has won from the seat for the fourth time. This is Fadnavis' sixth assembly poll win. In 1999 and 2004 he won from Nagpur West.

In 2019, Fadnavis won the Nagpur South-west constituency in Maharashtra defeating Dr Ashish Deshmukh of Congress . While Fadnavis had secured 109237 votes, Deshmukh could bag 59893 votes in his favour.  

Similarly, in 2014, Fadnavis had clinched the constituency with 113,918 votes, easily defeating Congress' Prafulla Vinod Gudadhe (Patil), who secured 54,976 votes. Overall, Nagpur South West has been a BJP stronghold, with Fadnavis consistently winning by large margins in the last three elections.

Nagpur South West: Key Candidates

Devendra Fadnavis, Maharashtra's current Deputy CM and two-time former Chief Minister, is aiming for a sixth term in his home constituency. Speculation about his potential return to the Chief Minister's office if the ruling Mahayuti alliance wins is growing. His arch-rival, Congress's Praful Gudadhe, is leveraging anti-incumbency, Fadnavis’ alleged inaccessibility, and voters' frustration over issues like unemployment, price hikes, and civic concerns.
