In the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections, Muslim candidates represent only 10% of the total contestants, with a majority contesting as independents. Major parties like BJP and Congress have fielded very few Muslim candidates, while AIMIM has the highest representation among parties. Muslim women are particularly underrepresented, constituting a mere 0.5% of all candidates.
