India's Vice President, Jagdeep Dhankhar, has unexpectedly resigned due to medical reasons, prematurely ending his term that was set to conclude in 2027. His tenure was marked by notable clashes with the Opposition. With no immediate successor announced, the Constitution dictates that the Rajya Sabha chairperson's duties will fall to the deputy chairperson or a President-appointed Rajya Sabha member. The ruling NDA, holding a significant electoral college majority, is now deliberating on candidates, with Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh being a prominent name. This marks Dhankhar as one of only three Vice Presidents to resign before completing their term. (PC: X & PTI)
