In Kolhapur South, Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Amal Mahadik is leading against Congress’s Ruturaj Patil by 15,374 votes, with 14 out of 23 rounds of counting already done.
The Kolhapur South seat was earlier won by Indian National Congress candidate Ruturaj Sanjay Patil in the 2019 assembly elections.

The 2019 elections initially brought the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to power. However, a series of alliances and splits led to the formation of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government headed by Uddhav Thackeray.
This government was later dissolved after internal changes led to the formation of the Mahayuti, consisting of the Shinde-led Sena and the BJP, with Eknath Shinde as Chief Minister. In the last assembly elections, the Karvir constituency saw PN Patil (Sadolikar) of the Indian National Congress win by a margin of 22,661 votes.
