<span style="color: #222222;">Biennial election for 10 seats in the Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) slated for tomorrow promises to be a humdinger of an electoral contest.<br />''<br />''Eleven candidates are in the fray for the 10 MLC seats, with the three ruling MVA parties – Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress – each fielding two candidates while the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party is fielding five candidates. The victory quota is around 26 votes as the strength of the 288-member Legislature has now reduced to 285, following the demise of Sena MLA Ramesh Latke and the arrest of two NCP leaders Nawab Malik and Anil Deshmukh.<br />''<br />''In the recently concluded Rajya Sabha polls, the BJP led by Devendra Fadnavis had rattled the  MVA by achieving a surprise victory on the hotly-contested sixth Rajya Sabha seat in the State which saw the BJP's Dhananjay Mahadik narrowly beating the Sena's (MVA's) candidate Sanjay Pawar by 41 votes to 39.<br />''<br />''While voting in the Rajya Sabha polls followed an open ballot system (except for independent MLAs), the MLC polls are held by a secret ballot system.</span><br />
