NEW DELHI: In a stunning outcome in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly Elections, Ajaz Khan, the candidate from Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram), has only managed to secure 87 votes in his constituency, trailing by a staggering 34,118 votes. The unexpected result has sent shockwaves through the political community, with many questioning the reasons behind his dismal performance.
Khan, who has made headlines in the past for his political aspirations and participation in public life, was hoping to make a significant impact in the assembly elections.

A candidate running on a platform of social justice and empowerment, Khan’s performance has sparked debates on his appeal to voters and the lack of support in his constituency.

The Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram), led by Khan, has struggled to make substantial inroads in Maharashtra politics, and this election result further reflects the challenges faced by smaller, regional parties in competing against well-established political forces. Despite his previous efforts to engage with the electorate, the lack of a strong political base and organized grassroots campaign appears to have limited his impact at the polls.
Khan’s unexpectedly low vote share also highlights the dominance of larger parties in the state, where political heavyweights and well-known figures have continued to capture the attention and support of voters. The election outcome suggests that while there is a significant space for regional and smaller parties, breaking through requires more than just promises; it necessitates a deeper connection with the electorate and a well-organized network.
