India: The Next President · Global Voices
Neha Viswanathan

Indian Muslims runs a poll on their blog on the preferred next President of India. “On 16th May 2007 we started a poll requesting our readers to vote for their choice for the upcoming Presidential elections in India. The participation was substantial and we got 212 votes during the 15 days the poll was active at the blog. I heartily thank all the readers who participated in the poll. The result is along the expected lines. Incumbent President APJ Abdul Kalam was the overwhelming favorite of the voters netting 54% of the total votes cast. Founder of Infosy, NR Narayanmurthy was a distant second with 24 votes which is around 11% of the total votes.”
