NCP national secretary Sachchidanand Singh has challenged the election of the NCP national president held on February 26, 2026, by serving a fresh legal notice on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Ajit Pawar.
Mr Singh has alleged irregularities in the organisational election process and sought that the esunetralection and consequential filings before the Election
Commission be declared void. He has demanded a fresh election in accordance with the party constitution.
Meanwhile, senior NCP leader and cabinet minister Chhagan Bhujbal questioned why Sunetra Pawar was being “troubled” by the notice when she had the support of party office-bearers, MPs and MLAs. He also questioned whether Mr Singh wanted to become the party president.
