Former Governor of Jharkhand Draupadi Murmu, a tribal leader from Odisha, is the NDA’s Presidential nominee for the July 18 elections, announced the BJP on Tuesday. If elected, Murmu, 64, will be the first tribal woman and second female to occupy the top constitutional office in the country’s history — a strong possibility as numbers are stacked in favour of the BJP-led NDA.
