Opposition Shiv Sena and BJP would follow the 2004 Assembly elections formula for the October 13 polls, with Sena contesting 169 and BJP 119 seats, a senior BJP leader said.
"The Sena-BJP alliance has nearly finalised its seat sharing and the parties would contest the same number of seats they did the last time," state BJP president Nitin Gadkari told PTI.
Elections to the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly will be held on October 13.
"The announcement about seat sharing would be made in a couple of days," Gadkari said.
Asked if there are differences in the saffron alliance over Guhagar Assembly seat in coastal Konkan, Gadkari said "We will not make Guhagar a prestige issue."
The seat had become the bone of contention between the two parties following delimitation. Sena wants the seat for Leader of Opposition Ramdas Kadam whose traditional constituency, Khed, does not exist post-delimitation.
