New Delhi: The election for India's next vice
president will be held Aug 7, if required, the Election Commission
announced Tuesday.
"VP election schedule has been announced. Poll, if required, will
be on Aug 7. The counting, if required, will be on the same day,"
an election commission official said.
While the notification will be issued July 6, the last date of
filing nominations is July 20, the poll panel said in a statement.
The date for the scrutiny of nomination is July 21, while the last
date for the withdrawals is July 23.
Vice President Hamid Ansari is set to complete his tenure on Aug
10. Speculation was rife that he would be named for the post of
president after Pratibha Patil completes her tenure in July. But
the UPA named former finance minister Pranab Mukherjee as its
nominee.
