A statement released by the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP, on Wednesday, July 5, said, “The EC has been informed through an affidavit that he was elected NCP chief through a resolution dated June 30th, 2023, signed by an overwhelming majority of the members of the NCP, both from the legislative and organizational wings”.

“Praful Patel continues to be the NCP Working President”, the release further mentioned, adding, “The NCP has also decided to appoint Ajit Pawar as the leader of NCP Legislative Party in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, and this decision was also ratified by an overwhelming majority of NCP MLAs”.
