New Delhi, September 9, 2025 — India has chosen its new Vice President, and the result is decisive. CP Radhakrishnan, a veteran leader with decades of political and social experience, has been elected as the 15th Vice President of India. He secured 452 votes, defeating opposition nominee Justice B. Sudershan Reddy, who polled 300 votes, while 15 ballots were declared invalid.

The Numbers Behind the Victory

The Vice Presidential poll saw a massive turnout, with 767 Members of Parliament casting their votes out of 781 eligible electors, marking an impressive 98% participation rate.

  • Total MPs Eligible: 781

  • Votes Polled: 767

  • Valid Votes: 752

  • Invalid Votes: 15

  • CP Radhakrishnan (NDA candidate): 452 votes (60.10%)

  • Justice Sudershan Reddy (Opposition candidate): 300 votes (39.90%)

  • Margin of Victory: 152 votes

This margin, much larger than expected, indicates that cross-voting likely occurred in favor of the NDA candidate.

Who is CP Radhakrishnan?

CP Radhakrishnan is a senior political figure from Tamil Nadu, known for his humble background, clean image, and deep association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Key Highlights of His Journey:

  • Twice elected as Member of Parliament from Coimbatore.

  • Served as Governor of Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Telangana, and Puducherry.

  • Former President of BJP Tamil Nadu unit.

  • Known for being a calm, non-confrontational leader with strong organizational skills.

His rise to the second-highest constitutional office is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the NDA’s presence in southern India while rewarding decades of loyalty and service.

Why His Election Matters

The role of the Vice President is not just ceremonial. As the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, the Vice President is crucial in steering debates, maintaining order, and ensuring democratic processes are respected in Parliament.

CP Radhakrishnan’s election is significant because:

  1. It consolidates NDA’s control over Parliament.

  2. It adds southern representation to the top constitutional offices.

  3. His non-confrontational leadership style could reduce frequent disruptions in the Upper House.

  4. It strengthens the ruling coalition ahead of the 2026 Lok Sabha elections.

Leaders React

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Radhakrishnan as a “leader of integrity who has devoted his life to serving the people.”

  • President Droupadi Murmu congratulated him and expressed confidence in his ability to “uphold constitutional dignity and strengthen democracy.”

  • Union Home Minister Amit Shah described his victory as “a moment of pride for Tamil Nadu and for the nation.”

  • Opposition voices, while acknowledging his win, pointed to the margin as proof of divisions within their own ranks.

On social media, hashtags like #CPRadhakrishnan, #VicePresident2025, and #DemocracyInAction have been trending nationwide.

What Lies Ahead

Radhakrishnan will take the oath of office on 12 September 2025. His five-year tenure will involve presiding over the Rajya Sabha, where he is expected to encourage more constructive debates and reduce political confrontations.

Observers believe he may use his position to:

  • Promote cooperative federalism between the Centre and states.

  • Strengthen the voice of southern India in national policymaking.

  • Ensure smoother functioning of Parliament at a time when key reforms are pending.

Historical Context

India has seen a series of distinguished leaders occupy the Vice President’s office, from Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan to Bhairon Singh Shekhawat and M. Venkaiah Naidu. CP Radhakrishnan now joins this legacy of leaders who have combined political wisdom with constitutional responsibility.

Conclusion

The election of CP Radhakrishnan as Vice President of India 2025 is more than just a political win—it’s a reflection of India’s robust democratic spirit. His leadership is expected to bring stability, balance, and inclusivity to Parliament, while also strengthening India’s federal structure.

 

For the nation, this is a moment that combines continuity with change, and for CP Radhakrishnan, it is a chance to serve India at the very heart of its democracy.
