Early vice presidential elections were held in India on 9 September 2025 following the resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar due to health concerns. Article 67 of the Constitution of India provides that the vice president of India shall remain in office for a period of five years. According to Clause 2 of Article 68 of the Constitution, an election to fill a vacancy in the office of the vice president occurring due to his death, resignation or removal, or otherwise shall be held "as soon as possible" from the date of the vacancy. This is the first early election for the office since 1987.
At around 19:30 IST, returning officer Pramod Chandra Mody declared NDA candidate C. P. Radhakrishnan elected. He won by a margin of 152 votes, the narrowest in a vice presidential election since 2002. At least 15 opposition MP's had cross voted in favour of Radhakrishnan.
