The role of the Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu, Telangana and West Bengal will be crucial in the election of the next President in 2017, according to the Centre for Media Studies (CMS), a premier public opinion research body specialising in poll studies.

 

“Without the support of other parties, neither the NDA nor UPA currently has the required number of votes to get their candidate elected as the President. The UPA has less than 4 lakh votes and NDA has nearly 4.5 lakh votes, while they require around 5.5 lakh votes to elect a President.

 

Hence, the support of any two of the above three Chief Ministers is needed to clinch the matter”, CMS Chairman, Mr. N. Bhaskara Rao, told The Hindu.

 

The situation might change in favour of NDA if the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies manage to secure 200 and above seats in the elections to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly to be held prior to the Presidential polls.

 

In such a case, NDA can get a simple majority in the elections.

 

The term of President Pranabh Mukherjee, who assumed office in 2012, ends in 2017. As per the Constitution, the President is chosen by an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament, the elected members of the State Assemblies and Union Territories. The total votes of the electoral college, as per CMS, is around 10.8 lakh votes.
