Know All The Details About India’s 15th Vice President – Chandrapuram Ponnusamy Radhakrishnan:
On 9 September 2025, C. P. Radhakrishnan, seasoned BJP veteran and Maharashtra’s Governor, clinched victory as India’s 15th Vice-President. Chandrapuram Ponnusamy Radhakrishnan was declared the winner shortly after the voting concluded in the vice presidential elections. The NDA-backed nominee received 452 votes, while Sudershan Reddy got 300 votes. His landslide win, amid whispers of cross-voting and high turnout, marks a major constitutional win for the NDA.
All About The Voting Numbers
When it came to voting numbers, out of 781 Members of Parliament, 767 turned up to vote, which was around 98% turnout. When the ballots were counted, C.P. Radhakrishnan won by a landslide of 452 votes, while his opposition, Sudershan Reddy’s votes received 300. Fifteen votes were invalid, but they did not change the story. The margin of votes was around 152.
Usually, Vice-Presidential polls do not hog headlines. However, this one did as it came early after former Vice President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned for health reasons.
After winning, India’s 15th Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan called his win ‘a win of nationalistic ideology’. He reminded everyone that democracy isn’t about one side alone. Ruling and opposition, he said, are like two sides of the same coin. His vision? To see India developed by 2047, when the country turns 100.
