The Congress on Friday March 29,2019 formally announced the name of actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar as the party’s candidate from Mumbai North constituency. Matondkar will take on sitting BJP MP Gopal Shetty in Lok Sabha elections — the seat will go to polls on April 29.
The Mumbai North constituency — comprising Malad West, Kandivali East, Charkop, Magathane, Borivali and Dahisar — was initially offered to Congress leader and former MP from the seat Sanjay Nirupam, who declined. He had lost to Shetty by 3,80,000 votes in 2014 elections.
Nirupam, who was the president of the party’s city unit until recently, will contest from the adjoining Mumbai North West seat
