On Thursday, Sunil Kamble, a five-time BJP corporator, took out a huge rally before filing his nomination for the seat. From to , voters of Pune Cantonment elected a Congress candidate. The last Congress leader to win from the constituency was Bagwe, a former minister of state for home who won the assembly elections by defeating Sadanand Shetty of Shiv Sena by a margin of 37, votes.

He has promised to work towards slum rehabilitation projects in the area while Kamble has said he will take steps such as obtaining permissions for repairing old structures in the cantonment and resolving traffic congestion.

The constituency includes both sprawling slums, at Lohiyanagar, Ganj Peth and other areas, as well as a cluster of high-end societies in the cantonment areas. But lack of infrastructural development has plagued this constituency for a long time. Parts of Pune Cantonment were among the areas worst hit in the recent flash floods, which highlighted the issue of clogged rivers and nullahs.

Environmentalist and lawyer Netraprakash Bhog, who has lived in Camp area for over 70 years, said the current infrastructure was insufficient to take on the pressure of the many multi-storeyed buildings being constructed. Encroachment was also a major problem, said Bhog. According to Vinod Mathurawala, an elected member of the Pune Cantonment Board, Congress leaders have to be a united force to win the seat back.
