Nationalist Congress Party – Sharadchandra Pawar

The Nationalist Congress Party – Sharadchandra Pawar or NCP–SP is a political party in India formed under the leadership of Sharadchandra Pawar (commonly known as Sharad Pawar). It was formed after the Election Commission of India (ECI) recognised the group led by his nephew Ajit Pawar as the original Nationalist Congress Party.

History

In July 2023, Ajit Pawar, along with 40 MLAs, left the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party and joined the ruling Shiv Sena – BJP government as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. This caused the split in NCP. On 7 February 2024, ECI awarded the party name and symbol to the faction headed by Ajit Pawar. The faction led by Sharad Pawar got a new name "Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar)".

Party symbol

ECI has allotted "a man blowing tura (trumpet)" (in Marathi तुतारी वाजवणारा माणूस) as symbol to the party.

Party flag

The flag of the Nationalist Congress Party – Sharadchandra Pawar after the split contains its logo and the Indian flag.
