AAP most likely to back Opposition's nominee Meira Kumar

July 01, 2017 12:32

Even with the Congress cold-shouldering the Aam Aadmi Party on upcoming presidential polls slated for July 17, the AAP is most likely to back the Opposition's nominee Meira Kumar.

Though the party is yet to convene a meeting of its highest decision making body, the Political Affairs Committee that will formally decide who the party will vote for and thereafter communicate to its representatives, sources from AAP said that the party will 'absolutely not vote for the NDA candidate Ram Nath Kovind.'

The AAP roughly has 9000 votes, which though not sizeable, is significant in symbolic terms.
