Party status

The president represents the country and does not belong to any party either after his election but to the nation 2409:4053:C8D:840B:A4E4:7AC4:29AF:E6E (talk) 21:17, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Current president

Syrriana, Ram Nath Kovind is still the president of India. His term will expire on 25 July and Droupadi Murmu hasn't taken oath yet and should not be added to the list. --Bears (talk) 16:59, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good

Sikkim and Voting Maps

The voting maps are very good. The thing to note is that Sikkim joined the Indian Union on 16 May 1975. Therefore till the first 5 presidential elections, the map of India did not include Sikkim. Just to stay historically accurate. Not all to offend Sikkim or anybody. thevikas (talk) 04:27, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need the "Oath administered by"

Aruunn, do we really need this column? The table already has a lot of information (to the point of overloading the reader), most of which is important to keep. This particular column doesn't seem as important and, IMO, can be eliminated. Thoughts? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
