<h1>Ruling coalition files four identical nomination sets, secures required proposers and majority-OBC nominee seen as certain victor</h1> A ruling-coalition candidate filed nomination papers for the vice-presidential election accompanied by senior government leaders; four identical sets were submitted with high-ranking ministers as lead proposers. The returning officer examined the papers, accepted them, and issued an acknowledgement. By law a nomination requires at least 20 proposers and 20 seconders; the coalition ensured constituent representation across the four sets. The electoral college comprises both houses with an effective strength of 781 and majority mark of 391; the ruling bloc commands at least 422 supporters, making the candidate's election virtually certain. The coalition touts the nominee's administrative experience and clean record; the nominee is from an OBC community.
