Draupadi Murmu has become the 15th president of India in a historic win that has seen a politician from an indigenous community take the country’s highest elective office for the first time.
Ms Murmu, 64, is leading by a huge margin of 812 votes against 521 votes for the opposition candidate, Yashwant Sinha. A total of 4,796 eligible electors cast their ballots on Monday.
