If all MPs vote according to the party line, then Radhakrishan is likely to get 422 votes and Reddy is likely to get 319 votes, due to which the victory of the NDA candidate is almost fixed. However, the possibility of cross voting cannot be ruled out due to secret voting, which may affect the result.
The Vice President is elected by the elected and nominated members of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. However, no party can be released by any party in this election. Every MP votes as per his choice. It remains to be seen whether the estimates prove correct or cross voting gives a new political indication. The eyes across the country will be on the counting of votes starting at 6 pm and its results.
