Apart from Ankit Prabhu (Shiv Sena UBT) and Viplav Avsare (BJP), the contestants included Mahendra Malusare Bhosale from the Aam Aadmi Party, Reshma Abu Khan of the Republican Party of India, and Rahul Subhash Thoke representing the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA). The contest also saw independent candidates Arvind Yashwant Pawar, Bavdhane Sunita Chandrashekhar, and Vilas Ganesh Bal.

Earlier, while speaking to FPJ, Prabhu spoke about the problems in Goregaon. He added that Goregaon is split between slum clusters and high-rise buildings, each facing its distinct challenges. He said that during the monsoon, clogged drains and nullahs are not cleaned properly, which leads to severe waterlogging, and rainwater often enters their homes, causing hardships for people living in slums. On the other hand, for housing societies and buildings, Prabhu pointed to poor road conditions as a key concern. "Roads in Goregaon are in a very pathetic condition," he said.

Moreover, he had also called for protection of Mumbai’s remaining green cover, including mangroves, Sanjay Gandhi National Park, and Aarey Colony, must be protected. "We call these places as the green lungs of Mumbai and that should be protected," he added.
