NDA nominee gets more than 65 per cent votesNew Delhi, July 20
Ram Nath Kovind was on Thursday elected President of India. He got 65.65
per cent of the total votes, while the Opposition nominee Meira Kumar
bagged 34.35 per cent votes.
NDA nominee Kovind, a former Bihar governor, was pitted against opposition's candidate Meira Kumar, a former Lok Sabha Speaker.
Kovind was expected to win the presidential race given that the BJP and
its allies have a majority in electoral college comprising Members of
Parliament and members of legislative assemblies and councils of all
states.
