The Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party is an Indian political faction under the leadership of Ajit Pawar, splintered from the main Nationalist Congress Party under Sharad Pawar. The faction got hold of the party name afterwards.[1] It currently has 41 MLAs in Maharashtra, 7 MLAs in Nagaland, and 2 MPs in Indian Parliament.
In July 2023, a majority of the elected representatives of the party led by Ajit Pawar joined the National Democratic Alliance government. This caused a direct split between Ajit Pawar and the founder-president of the party Sharad Pawar.[2] On 7 February 2024, the Election Commission of India awarded the party name and symbol to the group headed by Ajit Pawar. The group led by Sharad Pawar will be known as Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar).
