CP Radhakrishnan will win and become the Vice President.
Elections are contested to win. We are confident that we will definitely win.
NDA parties, MPs are ready for VP election tomorrow, we will participate in it positively. The next session will be held under CP Radhakrishnan. We are hopeful for tomorrow.
With BJP-led NDA commanding approximately 427 votes in the 781-member electoral college - well above the required majority of 391 - Radhakrishnan is poised for a decisive victory. Support from non-INDIA bloc parties, such as YSR Congress Party (11 MPs), further strengthens NDA's position, while Biju Janata Dal (7 MPs) and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (4 MPs) have confirmed they will abstain from voting.
C P Radhakrishnan, 67, is a BJP veteran from Tamil Nadu and former governor of Maharashtra. He served two terms in the Lok Sabha and led the party in Tamil Nadu. The NDA highlights his political experience, administrative acumen, and untainted record as qualities suitable for the vice president’s office and as chairman of the Rajya Sabha. Radhakrishnan has met MPs across states seeking support and enjoys backing from allied parties, as well as unaligned YSR Congress MPs, portraying him as the consensus choice for stability and leadership in the upper house.
