Voting for the presidential election will take place on 18 July. In such a situation, the political parties have made their stand clear. In UP, Samajwadi Party has announced its support to the opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha. On the other hand, its ally SubhaSP announced to vote for NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu on 15 July.
BSP has also announced its support to Draupadi Murmu in this election. In such a situation, an interesting situation remains in UP regarding Mukhtar Ansari’s family amid the announcement of support of political parties. Actually, the members of this family are active in the political field by staying in three different parties. At the same time, the position of the three parties in the presidential election is also different. In such a situation, the discussion of the Ansari family remains in UP.
Politics from three different parties in the family: Mukhtar Ansari’s brother Afzal Ansari is an MP from Ghazipur Lok Sabha seat. Looking at the stand of the BSP, it is believed that MP Afzal Ansari will vote in favor of the NDA candidate. Munna Ansari is the SP MLA from Mohammadabad assembly seat. He is the son of former MLA Sibgatullah Ansari. If SP’s stand is towards Yashwant Sinha, then it is clear that he will be with the party’s decision.
At the same time, Abbas Ansari, son of Mukhtar Ansari, has been an MLA from Mau in the 2022 UP assembly elections on a SubhasP ticket. On July 15, Subhaspa chief Om Prakash Rajbhar announced that his MLAs would support Draupadi Murmu in the presidential election. In such a situation, Abbas Ansari can go with the party’s decision. In the midst of this situation, it remains to be seen how the role of the Ansari family will be in the presidential election.
Let us tell you that on July 18, there will be a presidential election in the country. Yashwant Sinha has been made the candidate from the United Opposition. At the same time, NDA has made Draupadi Murmu as its presidential candidate. Both the leaders have been in politics for a long time and have held various positions.
