Karjat Jamkhed constituency, located in Ahmednagar district, is a key seat among the 288 assembly constituencies in Maharashtra. Constituency number 227, the Karjat Jamkhed seat, is unreserved. In the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly elections, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) candidate Rohit Rajendra Pawar won the seat after securing 135,824 votes.

Pawar defeated Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Ram Shinde, who received 92,477 votes. In the 2024 assembly elections, the key candidates for the Karjat Jamkhed constituency are Ram Shankar Shinde (BJP) and Rohit Pawar (NCP Sharad Pawar). During the last Assembly polls, the BJP won 105 of 288 seats, while the then-undivided Shiv Sena got 56.



The Congress and NCP ended up at 44 and 54 seats, respectively. Despite the clear majority, the BJP and Shiv Sena alliance fell apart over the Chief Minister's post, resulting in the formation of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government collapsed after the Eknath Shinde-led camp rebelled against the Shiv Sena in June 2022.

This led to an unprecedented split in the party. A similar situation was seen in the NCP when Ajit Pawar parted ways with his uncle Sharad Pawar and joined the ruling Mahayuti.
