CP Radhakrishnan to be sworn in as Vice-President tomorrow

Vice-President-elect CP Radhakrishnan will be administered the oath of office by President Droupadi Murmu on Friday, officials said.

Former Maharashtra Governor Radhakrishanan will be sworn in as the next Vice-President at a ceremony scheduled to be held at 10 am at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, they said.

The 68-year-old Radhakrishanan won the vice-presidential election on Tuesday, defeating the joint opposition nominee B Sudershan Reddy by a margin of 152



votes.

The election was necessitated due to the sudden resignation of the then-incumbent, Jagdeep Dhankhar, on July 21.

After his election as the Vice President, Radhakrishnan demitted office of Governor of Maharashtra on Thursday.

President Murmu appointed Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat to discharge the functions of the Governor of Maharashtra, in addition to his own duties, an official statement issued by the President's office said.
