Lawmakers began voting Monday to choose India's next president in an election expected to be won by a woman from India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party who hails from a minority ethnic community.
The election of Draupadi Murmu is a formality as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP controls enough seats in federal and state legislatures to push its favoured candidate. She is also likely to get the support of other regional parties in state assemblies.
If elected, she will become the first president from one of the country's tribes and the second-ever female president of India. She is a member of the Santal ethnic minority.
