On Tuesday, Draupadi Murmu, considered as the NDA’s candidate for the presidential polls next month. She was first considered a contender five years ago, when President Pranab Mukherjee was set to leave Rashtrapati Bhavan. At the time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was highly expected to pick the Odisha tribal leader and then governor of Jharkhand.

Draupadi Murmu, a native of Odisha's Mayurbhanj district, was born on June 20th   1958. She has done her bachelor's degree from Ramadevi Women's College, Bhubaneswar. Murmu's personal life has been clouded by tragedy since she has lost her spouse, Shyam Charan Murmu, and two sons.

She began her career as a teacher. She has served as an MLA from Rairangpur, Mayurbhanj, on the BJP ticket twice (2000 and 2009). Prior to that, she served in the portfolios of Commerce and Transport, and subsequently Fisheries and Animal Husbandry, under the BJP-BJD coalition government in 2000.

Murmu was elected to the Rairangpur Nagar Panchayat in 1997 and served as vice-president of the BJP's Scheduled Tribes Morcha prior to her election as an MLA. Murmu was sworn in as the first female Governor of Jharkhand in 2015.
