In India the stage is all set to elect a new President who will become the 15th person to hold this office after the incumbent President Ramnath Kovind retires on 24th July'22. As we all know that the office of President is the Highest Constitutional post of India. The ruling NDA government has appointed Ms. Draupadi Murmu for the highest post whereas the opposition UPA government has appointed Mr. Yashwant Sinha for this post. After the elections India will have it's 15th President. But the question here arises is how the President of India is elected. The President of India is not elected directly by the citizen like that of MPs, MLAs. Rather it is elected through a process of electoral college which involves all the parliamentarians and members of state legislative assemblies to vote.
