TheNationalist Congress Party – Sharadchandra Pawar orNCP–SP is a political party inIndia formed under the leadership ofSharadchandra Pawar (commonly known asSharad Pawar).[1] It was formed after theElection Commission of India (ECI) recognised the group led by his nephewAjit Pawar as the originalNationalist Congress Party.[12]
In July 2023,Ajit Pawar, along with 40 MLAs, left the Sharad Pawar-ledNationalist Congress Party and joined the rulingShiv Sena –BJP government asDeputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.[13] This caused thesplit in NCP.[14] On 7 February 2024, ECI awarded the party name and symbol to the faction headed by Ajit Pawar.[12] The faction led by Sharad Pawar got a new name "Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar)".[15]
