Vice President Election 2025 Live Updates: The election to choose India’s next Vice President is set to take place today, with lawmakers from both Houses of Parliament casting their votes.
The ruling NDA has nominated former Tamil Nadu BJP president CP Radhakrishnan, while the Opposition has fielded senior advocate B Sudershan Reddy.
According to Rajya Sabha Secretary-General PC Mody, who is the returning officer, polling will be held in Room No. F-101, Vasudha, Parliament House, between 10 am and 5 pm.
The Opposition has framed the contest as an “ideological battle,” though the numbers favour the NDA.
Meanwhile, several regional outfits—including the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)—have chosen to abstain.
Their stance, party leaders say, reflects an effort to underline state-level priorities and maintain distance from both the NDA and the Congress-led INDIA bloc.
