Presidential Election 2022 Live: Draupadi Murmu, Yashwant Sinha Ready For Face-Off As MLAs, MPs cast their vote
Presidential Election 2022 Live updates: The Parliament House and state legislative assemblies are currently hosting voting in the presidential election. Around 4,800 MPs and MLAs will cast their votes until 5 p.m. on Monday to choose the 15th President of India, as Ram Nath Kovind’s term ends on July 24. On July 21, ballots will be counted, and on July 25, the future president will take office.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate Draupadi Murmu has a clear advantage over the Opposition nominee Yashwant Sinha thanks to the support of the BJD, YSRCP, BSP, AIADMK, TDP, JD(S), Shiromani Akali Dal, Shiv Sena, and now the JMM. It is anticipated that she will receive more than 60% of the vote, compared to over 60% for Sinha. If elected, she will hold the nation’s top constitutional position for the first time as a woman from the indigenous group.
The opposition camp had approached Gopalkrishna Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, and Farooq Abdullah to compete in the presidential race before settling on Sinha, a former Union minister under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee administration. Ram Nath Kovind was elected president in 2017 after defeating Meira Kumar, a joint opponent. Out of a total of 10,69,358 votes cast, Kovind received 7,02,000 votes compared to Kumar’s 3,67,000 votes.
