2012 elections in India

The 2012 elections in India primarily refer to the 15th Presidential election held on July 19, 2012, alongside various state assembly elections throughout the year. The presidential election was marked by a contest between Pranab Mukherjee of the Indian National Congress, backed by a coalition of ruling parties, and P. A. Sangma, a candidate representing the opposition. Mukherjee emerged victorious, securing 69.5% of the votes and subsequently assumed office as the 13th President of India on July 25, 2012. Additionally, state assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa, and Manipur were held in early 2012, showcasing a politically charged environment with significant implications for regional governance and national policies.
