The Congress has finalised its seat-sharing arrangement with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) for the Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, retaining 26 seats and giving 22 to its electoral ally, party sources said. Any remaining issues - including seat allotment to smaller parties in the alliance - will be ironed out in the coming days, they added. Maharashtra has 48 seats in the Lok Sabha, the second-highest in the country after Uttar Pradesh. The National Democratic Alliance had won 41 seats in the last Lok Sabha elections, leaving the Congress-NCP combine with just 6.
