Maharashtra Elections 2024: Nawab Malik Files Nomination From Mankhurd Seat As NCP Candidate

NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik on Tuesday filed two sets of nominations from Mumbai's Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar constituency for the upcoming state assembly election.

After filing his nominations, Malik told the reporters, "I have filed my nomination - as an independent candidate and also as a candidate of NCP. I haven't received the party's AB form, if it comes within time, I will contest as an NCP candidate otherwise as an independent candidate."

However, soon after Malik filed his nomination, he received AB form from party.

Yesterday, Nawab Malik's daughter Sana Malik filed her nomination as NCP's official candidate from Mumbai's Anushakti Nagar assembly seat.
