Union Minister Anurag Thakur congratulated President-elected Droupadi Murmu on her victory and thanked UPA members who voted for her. “They went above and beyond their party for the sake of the country.” “Seeing a tribal woman rise to the highest position is heartening,” he told ANI. When the votes were counted, it was clear that Murmu’s spectacular victory had also been aided by some cross-voting — evidence of division and confusion in the Opposition ranks.

Murmu, the former Governor of Jharkhand, easily defeated challenger and Opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha, receiving 64.03 percent of all votes cast.
