Rahul Narvekar

The stage is set for a high-octane assembly election in Mumbai's Colaba constituency on November 20.

Colaba is one of the 288 legislative assemblies in Maharashtra and lies in Mumbai.

Colaba (constituency number 187) is part of the Mumbai South Lok Sabha constituency along with five other legislative segments: Worli, Shivadi, Byculla, Malabar Hill and Mumbadevi.

In the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections, Colaba is set to witness a tense fight between BJP's Rahul Narvekar, who is also the speaker of the Maharashtra assembly, and Heera Dewasi from Congress.

In 2019, Narvekar won the seat by defeating Congress rival Ashok Jagtap by a margin of nearly 16,000 votes.

Notably, the Colaba constituency has a significant non-Marathi population, with most voters belonging to the elite and middle classes, along with a few slum areas in Cuffe Parade.
