Question

Value of vote of mp in rajya sabha and lok sabha in president election

Answer 1

Legislators and parliamentarians will vote to elect India's next president today. NDA's nominee Ram Nath Kovind is locked up in a straight fight with Opposition's Meira Kumar in what is billed as a 'Dalit vs Dalit' contest.

The two candidates have campaigned extensively to succeed President Pranab Mukherjee whose term ends on July 24.

In order to ensure a 100% turnout, the Election Commission or EC has allowed 14 Rajya Sabha MPs and 41 Lok Sabha MPs to vote in state assemblies for presidential polls today. The poll body has also allowed five MLAs to vote in the Parliament in New Delhi
