Draupadi Murmu officially announced as the 15th President of India
India will officially witness their 15th President of the nation. On July 21 (today) NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu was officially elected as the next President of India. Current president Shri Ram Nath Kovind’s tenure will be ending on July 24 and Draupadi Murmu will be swearing in on July 25th.
I join my fellow citizens in congratulating Smt Droupadi Murmu on her victory in the Presidential Election 2022. India hopes that as the 15th President of the Republic she functions as the Custodian of the Constitution without fear or favour.
Draupadi won the elections by getting 72% of the votes while opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha got only 28% of the votes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Draupadi Murmu and congratulated her for the critical dream to be the next President of India. PM Modi also appreciated her with a bouquet of flowers while visiting her.
