VP Polls LIVE Updates: NDA's Radhakrishnan Has Clear Edge Over INDIA's Reddy. Voting Begins Shortly

<p>The stage is set for the Vice Presidential election today, drawing nationwide attention to the high-stakes contest between NDA’s CP Radhakrishnan and Opposition’s B Sudershan Reddy. Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar&rsquo;s unexpected resignation due to health reasons fifty days ago necessitated the Vuce Presidential election.</p>
<p>Members of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will cast their votes in Parliament House between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The counting of votes will begin after 6:00 PM, and the results will be declared later in the evening.</p>
<p>The National Democratic Alliance has nominated CP Radhakrishnan, currently Maharashtra Governor, while the Opposition&rsquo;s INDIA bloc fielded former Supreme Court judge B Sudershan Reddy. Both candidates hail from southern India, with Radhakrishnan from Tamil Nadu and Reddy from Telangana, reflecting regional diversity in national politics.</p>
<p>While the NDA commands a clear numerical advantage, the election is also shaped by the abstention of key regional players like BJD, BRS, and SAD, who have chosen to boycott as a statement on national and local issues. The process marks India&rsquo;s first early vice presidential election since 1987, making today not only a test of alliances but also a significant chapter in parliamentary history.</p>
