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)".
