Vice-President on July 21, citing health reasons, the Parliament is all set to pick his successor. The choices are: BJP-led National Democratic Alliance’s CP Radhakrishnan, who has served as Governor of various states, and Congress-led INDIA bloc’s B Sudershan Reddy, a former Supreme Court judge.
At the election MPs from both the Houses of the Parliament will vote to elect the new Vice President of India.
The new incumbent will get a full-five year term, even though Dhankhar quit midway in his term.
