The Patan constituency is located in State of Maharashtra. The seat falls in Satara district of the state. In the 2014 assembly elections, the seat was won by Desai Shambhuraj Shivajirao of Shiv Sena. He was declared the winner by a margin of 18,824 votes.

Ahead of the elections, prospects are rife for the BJP-Sena coalition from all constituencies of Maharashtra, as the alliance had recently clean swept the Lok Sabha polls. In the general elections held six months ago, the state witnessed a decisive Narendra Modi wave, which allowed the saffron coalition to bag 41 out of the 48 parliamentary constituencies. Karad Vidhan Sabha Constituency Election Result 2019 in Maharashtra: Balasaheb Urf Shamrao Pandurang Patil of NCP Wins MLA Seat in Assembly Polls.
