In quite a predictable fight in Thane, Dombivli and Kalyan areas, the BJP won six seats, Shiv Sena bagged five, two seats went to NCP and one each to MNS and Samajwadi Party. One of the toughest fights for BJP was the one between its candidate Sanjay Kelkar and MNS's Avinash Jadhav.

However, the ruling party's Kisan Kathore received the highest number of votes (165,940) against NCP's Pramod Hindurao, who got 35,990 in Murbad constituency. Even though BJP's Kelkar received 92,298 votes, about 20,000 more than what MNS's Jadhav got (72,874), during the initial rounds of counting it seemed the numbers would tilt towards MNS but eventually the BJP won.
