Kothrud Vidhan Sabha constituency, Legislative Assembly constituency in Pune district, India
Kothrud constituency is a legislative district covering multiple central neighborhoods of Pune city that forms one of eight electoral regions for state representation. The area spans residential zones, commercial streets, and local markets where people conduct their daily business.
The constituency was created in 2008 following a redrawing of electoral boundaries in Pune district that split a larger former region into smaller units. Administrative reforms at that time reorganized state representation across the city into eight separate zones.
The electoral region encompasses diverse communities of Pune residents, reflecting different social groups through local festivals and community gatherings.
During election periods, multiple polling stations are distributed across the region with clear markings to help voters find their designated location. Voter identification is required at all stations, and the locations are arranged to serve different neighborhoods fairly.
The constituency demonstrates consistent political transitions, shifting from Shiv Sena leadership to Bharatiya Janata Party representation between 2009 and 2019.
