Results in previous elections—The constituency of Baramati has been won by NCP's Ajit Anantrao Pawar since 1995 Assembly elections. In 2014, he defeated BJP's Balasaheb Alias Prabhakar Dadaram Gawade with a margin of about 89,791 votes. In 2009, he defeated independent candidate Taware Ranjankumar Shankarrao by bagging 1,28,544 votes against Shankarrao's 25,747 votes.

Demographics—Baramati consists of rural as well as urban pockets, with agriculture, specially sugarcane cultivation, being the major occupation.

Baramati, a Pawar family stronghold, is being eyed by the BJP this election, with the latter raising issues of water scarcity and bad roads in the constituency. BJP has fielded Dhangar (shepherd) community leader Gopichand Padalkar against NCP leader and MLA Ajit Pawar. Padalkar, earlier a part of Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, joined the saffron party earlier this month. BSP's Ashok Ajinath Mane is also contesting from the constituency.
