The BJP parliamentary board on Sunday nominated Maharashtra governor C.P. Radhakrishnan as the NDA candidate for vice-president.

Announcing the nomination, BJP president J.P. Nadda said a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided Radhakrishnan's name after an extensive deliberation.

Nadda hoped the Opposition parties will support the NDA candidate.

The vice-presidential election, necessitated by the resignation of incumbent Jagdeep Dhankhar last month, is scheduled for September 9. The last date for filing nomination is August 22.
