The election got interesting due to its three-dimensional nature. The independent candidate who was a former BJP member brought interest in the election by taking the issue of BJP deliberately neglecting its loyal party workers who have worked for the party for many decades. The Chairman of Dhule Zilla Parishad Shivajirao Dahite joined BJP ahead of elections, this created the anguish amongst all BJP voters and party workers and this affected the voting for BJP candidate. This is considered to be the biggest reason of win of independent candidate Smt. Manjulatai Gavit.
The elected Member of Legislative Assembly declared her support to Shivsena regarding the Government formation.
The election effectively changed the politics of Sakri Taluka and Sakri City.
