Dhankhar’s Exit Sets Stage for NDA’s Presidential Sweep
The upcoming Vice-Presidential election, scheduled for September 9th, is generating considerable political buzz. Nominations close on August 21st.
The resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar on July 21st, citing health reasons, has paved the way for the election. His departure leaves a significant vacancy in the nation’s second highest office.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) enjoys a commanding lead in the electoral college, comprising members of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. They are well-positioned to secure a decisive victory.
A candidate needs 391 votes to win. Given the NDA’s current strength, a smooth victory for their nominee appears highly likely.
This election holds significant implications for the government’s legislative agenda in the coming years. The Vice-President also serves as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, wielding considerable influence over parliamentary proceedings.
