The counting of votes in the presidential poll will be held on Sunday. Mr. Pranab Mukherjee is the UPA candidate in the contest against Mr P A Sangma, supported by some opposition parties.

AIR correspondent reports that the ballot boxes from the states have been brought to New Delhi under tight security for the counting, which will commence from 11 AM on Sunday.

Parliament House will be the centre of attraction tomorrow where the results of Presidential election will be announced.

Besides the UPA and its supporting parties SP, BSP, RJD, JD(S) , NDA partners JD U and Shiv Sena have also extended their support for Mr Pranab Mukherjee. CPIM, YSR Congress and Forward Bloc have also lent their support for the UPA nominee.

Former Lok Sabha speaker P A Sangma jumped in to the fray with initial support of the BJD and AIADMK . The BJP and Akali Dal decided to back him. Mr Sangma had quit NCP, the party he founded with Mr Sharad Pawar to contest the presidential election.

Now all eyes are on the Parliament House for Nation's next President, who will take the oath of office on 25th of this month at the historic Central Hall of Parliament.
