NCP Chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday reiterated that he was not in the race in the ensuing Presidential election. Instead, he said he was in favour of a consensus candidate of ruling and opposition parties.

He was reacting to reports in a section of press that opposition parties, who met on May 26, want him to run for the post of President of India.

"I have already said that I am not in the race. I do not want to retire from politics so early. I have suggested that the candidate should be decided by consensus but if it does not work out then a committee be formed to decide the opposition's  nominee," he noted.
