New Delhi – National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nominee and Maharashtra Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan has been elected as the Vice President of India, securing a total of 452 votes. His victory further consolidates the ruling alliance’s hold on top constitutional positions.
Radhakrishnan, a seasoned politician with decades of public service, will now assume the country’s second-highest constitutional office. His election comes at a crucial time when the NDA continues to strengthen its influence across both houses of Parliament.
The announcement of his win was made shortly after the counting of votes concluded, marking a decisive mandate in his favour. With this result, Radhakrishnan succeeds Jagdeep Dhankhar, whose term as Vice President concluded this year.
The Vice President of India also serves as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, a role that places Radhakrishnan at the center of legislative proceedings in the Upper House.
