Let us tell you that Draupadi Murmu crossed the 50 percent mark only after the third round.

However, another round of votes is yet to be counted.

The President of India is not only the head of state but also the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces and the first citizen of the country.

Draupadi is the second woman President of the country, before her Pratibha Patil has held the post of President of the country.

In the presidential election, 17 MPs cross-voted in favor of NDA's candidate Draupadi Murmu.

Draupadi Murmu's home state Odisha and her hometown started celebrating her victory even before the formal announcement of the results.

After the victory of Draupadi Murmu, a large number of people gathered outside the BJP headquarters in Delhi and are celebrating.

The term of the current President of the country, Ram Nath Kovind, will end on July 24 and the new President will take oath on July 25.
