Of these, the MNS-Sena combat will take place in six Lok Sabha constituencies, including three in Mumbai. Raj Thackeray announced the list at a party conclave in Mumbai on Sunday on the occasion of the MNS's eighth anniversary.
MNS's Bala Nandgaonkar will take on Sena's Arvind Sawant in Mumbai south. Congress's Milind Deora and AAP's Meera Sanyal are the other two candidates.
In Mumbai south-central, the MNS's Aditya Shirodkar will contest against Rahul Shewale of the Sena. Congress MP Eknath Gaekwad is in the fray as well.
Actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar is the MNS nominee against Sena veteran Gajanan Kirtikar, Congress MP Gurudas Kamat and Mayank Gandhi of AAP. In Kalyan-Dombivli, MNS candidate Rajiv Patil will contest against Shrikant Shinde of the Sena.
The MNS has skipped the Mumbai north-east and the Mumbai north-west constituencies, which are BJP seats. There are indications that the party may field Pravin Darekar, MLA, or his brother, corporator Prakash Darekar from Mumbai North, from where BJP's Gopal Shetty is contesting against Congress MP Snajay Nirupam, sources said.
The second, and final, list of MNS candidates will be announced in a day or two, Thackeray said.
