Mumbai: The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has appointed MLA Zeeshan Siddique as president of its Mumbai unit and Solapur district party president Umesh Patil as the party’s national chief spokesperson as part of an organisational reshuffle.

The appointments were announced by NCP national president and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar. The appointment letters were handed over to the two leaders at Devgiri, the official residence of the deputy chief minister, on October 27, in the presence of MP Parth Pawar and other party leaders and office-bearers.

Zeeshan Siddique, son of late NCP leader Baba Siddique, will now lead the party’s Mumbai unit. The appointment places him in a key organisational role as the party seeks to strengthen its presence in the state capital and consolidate its support base.

His elevation comes as the NCP reshuffles important organisational positions, signalling a renewed focus on its leadership structure and party activities. As Mumbai unit president, Siddique will be responsible for overseeing the party’s organisation in the city and coordinating its political activities.

Umesh Patil, who served as the NCP’s Solapur district president, has been appointed national chief spokesperson. In his new role, Patil is expected to represent the party’s position on political and organisational matters at the national level.

The appointments were made in the presence of senior party functionaries, including Parth Pawar, reflecting the participation of the party leadership in the organisational changes.
