Lawmakers chose India's first president from the country's tribal communities on Thursday, which could boost the appeal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party among marginalized groups ahead of the 2024 general election. Droupadi Murmu, a 64-year-old teacher turned politician, will be the second woman to hold the largely ceremonial role as head of the republic when she takes office on July 25 at the start of a five-year term.

周四，印度国会议员选举出了第一位来自部落地区的总统，这可能会在2024年大选前提高总理纳伦德拉·莫迪所在政党在边缘化群体中的吸引力。现年64岁的德洛帕迪·莫尔穆曾是一名教师，后来从政。她将于7月25日开始5年任期，届时她将成为第二位担任印度共和国元首的女性。
