"Amit will be Shiv Sena's candidate for the Palghar Assembly bypoll," party sources said.
Amit is the son of late Sena MLA Krishna Ghoda, whose death necessitated the election.
Krishna Ghoda was elected from the Palghar (ST) reserved tribal constituency during the 2014 Assembly elections.
Krishna, a three-time MLA was returning from a marriage ceremony when suffered a heart attack last year. He was rushed to a hospital at Vapi in Gujarat but was declared dead before admission.
The counting of votes will be taken up on February 16.
