According to local Shiv Sena leaders Marol Chimatpada, Bhandarwada, Mogra Pada, Mafkan Nagar and Hanjar Nagar are some Muslim-dominated areas in Andheri East where citizens voted for Latke.
Shiv Sena's (UBT) nominee Rutuja Ramesh Latke won the Andheri East Assembly by-election with 66,530 votes in favour. Latke and a group of party members called on Thackeray at his residence on Sunday.
Udhhav Thackeray is heading for a predictable win in Mumbai in the first election after a BJP-backed coup led by Eknath Shinde split his Shiv Sena and unseated his government in Maharashtra in June.
Latke had bagged over 42,000 votes at the end of the 11th round of vote-count followed by the NOTAA option getting nearly 9,000 votes.
Soon after Rutuja Latke, the Shiv Sena candidate of Uddhav Thackeray faction won the Andheri East bypolls, Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray said that the party won the bypoll despite conspiracies.
