The Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency, with its substantial electorate of approximately 16 lakh voters, holds significant political importance within Maharashtra's electoral landscape. Encompassing assembly seats like Borivali, Dahisar, Magathane, Kandivali East, Charkop, and Malad West, it represents a diverse range of communities and interests.

However, notable challenges have emerged over the years, including from prominent figures like film actor Govinda, who represented Congress at one point, and Sanjay Nirupam, who also secured victory for Congress in the past.
