NCP appoints Zeeshan Siddique as Mumbai chief as Parth Pawar pushes organisational changes amid dissent
Siddique is considered close to Parth, and his appointment marked Siddique’s second significant political milestone in just five months within the organization.
Mumbai, October 28, 2026 - The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) recently made significant organizational changes by appointing Umesh Patil as the National Chief Spokesperson and Zeeshan Siddique as the Mumbai President. These appointments were made during a ceremony at the official residence of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Ajit Pawar.
Party officials, including Sunetra Pawar and MP Parth Ajit Pawar, attended the event to welcome the new leaders and express their confidence in their abilities to lead the party effectively.
Sunetra Pawar, in her speech, emphasized the importance of the new appointments in strengthening the NCP's organizational network and leadership at both the national and city levels. She expressed her hope that the newly appointed leaders would discharge their responsibilities with dedication and commitment while working to expand the party's presence.
The appointments are seen as a step towards consolidating the party's organizational structure following the death of late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, as the NCP seeks to maintain its political base and strengthen its communication strategy across Maharashtra.
