New Delhi, July 18 (IBNS): The two candidates for the vice presidential poll, NDA backed Venkaiah Naidu and the Opposition's choice Gopal Krishna Gandhi, will file their nomination on Tuesday.

While 18 opposition parties named the former West Bengal governor as their candidate, the ruling BJP picked their senior leader Venkaiah Naidu for the V-P contest.
 
Naidu is presently the Information and Broadcasting minister of the union government.
 
Naidu's win is likely to be easier since NDA bags the required number of electoral votes.
 
The vice-president of India is elected by the members of the parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) in accordance with the system of proportional representation.
