Pranab elected India president
Former Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has won the Indian presidential election. Mr Mukherjee, a veteran of the ruling Congress Party, was elected by members of the national and state parliaments.
The position is largely ceremonial but he could help determine who forms the next government after elections in 2014 if there is no clear winner.
Mr Mukherjee's term runs for five years. He replaces Pratibha Patil, who was India's first woman president. (BBC)
