NDA candidate for the presidential elections to file nomination on June 23.

Opposition leaders are set to meet in Delhi on Wednesday to finalise consensus candidates for the upcoming presidential and vice-presidential elections. The meeting is slated to take place at around 4 pm today and leaders from 17 parties, namely JD (U), CPI, CPI-M, SP, DMK, NCP, RJD and TMC, besides some other regional parties, will be in attendance.

President Pranab Mukherjee's term ends on July 24, and the presidential elections are scheduled on July 17.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi had in a meeting on May 26 called upon all Opposition leaders to build a consensus on the presidential nominee, however, finding unison among all parties has proved to be difficult.

While Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has endorsed a second term for President Pranab Mukherjee, Congress has been non-committal on the issue.
