Droupadi Murmu, a former governor of Jharkhand and candidate for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), was chosen as India's fifteenth president. She is the first tribal woman to hold the office and the country's youngest president. Despite having already passed the halfway point after the third round of counting, she was proclaimed elected on Thursday after four rounds of counting. She held a commanding advantage over her challenger, the opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha, who later conceded the race.

Ms. Murmu, a former governor of Jharkhand, is of the Santhal tribe and was raised in the Mayurbhanj district. After struggling through school and a teaching career in Odisha, she entered local body politics before being elected as an MLA and serving as a minister in the Biju Janata Dal-BJP coalition government from 2000 to 2004. She represented Rairangpur in Odisha as an MLA until 2009. Since her name was made public as a candidate for the position of President of India, the town erupted in joy.
