The NCP(SP) nominee and sitting MP Amol Kolhe and Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction candidate and former MP Shivajirao Adhalrao are locked in a fierce political battle in the Shirur constituency in Pune District.

Five years ago, both were pitted against each other in the 2019 elections. Kolhe, who fought his maiden General Election on an NCP (united) ticket, had defeated three-term MP and then Shiv Sena (united) candidate Adhalrao. What has changed in the last few years between the two elections is the split in both NCP and Shiv Sena and also Adhalrao's 'ghar wapsi' to the NCP after almost 19 years albeit in the faction led by the junior Pawar. Further, there is a notable change in the poll symbols. While Dr Kolhe, had fought the last election on the 'clock' symbol, this time he fought on the 'man blowing trumpet' symbol. On his part, Adhalrao, who had contested on the 'bow and arrow' symbol of the Shiv Sena (united), fought on the 'clock' symbol.
