The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) of the opposition, of which the Sena (UBT) is part, can win only one out of the nine council seats up for grabs. The announcement of Danve's name by party MLA Aaditya Thackeray ruled out the possibility that Uddhav Thackeray would be the opposition's candidate.
"Uddhav saheb has decided that Ambadas Danve will be the party's candidate," Aaditya Thackeray told reporters here.
