Sunetra Pawar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, achieved a historic victory in the Baramati by-election, winning by an unprecedented 218,930 votes. This victory not only sets a new national record, surpassing the previous margin of 214,835 votes held by Sunil Kumar Sharma from Sahibabad, Uttar Pradesh, but also breaks the local record set by her late husband, Ajit Pawar, in the 2019 Assembly elections. The by-election saw a voter turnout of 58.17%, with Pawar's main competitor, the Congress candidate Akash More, withdrawing from the race, which led to a one-sided contest. Despite facing 22 opponents, including independents and candidates from minor parties, Pawar's popularity ensured that her competitors collectively garnered only 4,837 votes. This remarkable win marks a significant moment in Indian electoral history, solidifying Sunetra Pawar's position in the political landscape of Maharashtra.
