Strike rate is determined by calculating the number of seats won by a party of the number of seats it contested.
In June 2026, six Members of Parliament (MPs) from Shiv Sena (UBT) defected to the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde.
Shiv Sena leaders stated that the six MPs had formed a separate group and were expected to merge with the Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
Since the group constituted more than two-thirds of the party's Lok Sabha members, they argued that the move would not attract disqualification under the anti-defection provisions.
As a result of the defections, the Shiv Sena (UBT) saw its Lok Sabha tally fall from 9 to 3, whereas the Shinde-led Shiv Sena increased its numbers from 7 to 13, consolidating its position within Maharashtra's ruling NDA alliance.
