As per calculations and taking into account the cross-voting that occurred on Monday, it is likely that NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu will emerge victorious in the presidential polls, with a clear majority. It is expected that Murmu has received over 60 percent of the votes.
Probable vote share of Murmu and Sinha
According to the number of political parties backing both Draupadi Murmu and Yashwant Sinha, the former seems to have over 60 percent votes (6.67 lakh) and is headed towards a comfortable win in the elections.
Meanwhile, Yashwant Sinha is expected to get just under 40 percent of the total vote share, coming up to nearly 4 lakh votes.
If elected, Draupadi Murmu will be the first-ever President of India belonging to the tribal community. Meanwhile, the current President of India Ram Nath Kovind is set to complete his term on July 25, 2022.
