The Eknath Shinde faction, which is now named as 'Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena', will be able to use the election symbol for the Andheri East assembly bye-election scheduled for 3 November 2022.
Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena had submitted its choice of three poll symbols to the Election Commission of India (EC), 'conch shell', 'shield and swords' and 'peepal tree'.
Earlier, on 8 October 2022, the EC had barred both Shiv Sena factions from using the party name and its 'bow and arrow' election symbol in the Andheri East assembly bye-election.
EC on Monday allotted the 'Mashaal' (flaming torch) as poll symbol to the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of the Shiv Sena. The Thackeray faction has been allotted the name: "Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)".
