Digital Desk: As the votes of the presidential election will be counted today, Droupadi Murmu, the NDA's presidential candidate, has already started preparing for victory against Yashwant Sinha, the opposition candidate, in Rairangpur, Odisha, her hometown.
After the declaration of the result, Murmu's village organized a victory procession, a tribal dance, and the distribution of sweets.
At 11 a.m. today, the counting of ballots for the presidential election will start in room 63 of Parliament House, and the results will be announced straight away. The election was held on July 18.
Only those with valid passes will be permitted entry into the counting hall, including counting officers, staff members assigned to assist the Rajya Sabha Secretary General, candidates, and one authorized representative for each candidate, election commission observers, counting officers, and candidates. The election's returning officer is PC Mody, secretary general of the Rajya Sabha.
After all of the MPs' votes have been counted, Mody will give a briefing on the polling trends.
On Tuesday night, all voting boxes from state assemblies arrived at the Parliament's strongroom and have been locked there ever since. The ballot boxes came from all throughout the country and were flown into the capital as "Mr. Ballot Box."
