In Pictures: After resounding victory, NDA leaders meet to re-elect Prime Minister Narendra Modi president Ram Nath Kovind

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was unanimously elected leader of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Saturday at a meeting attended by its newly elected MPs and senior leaders in Parliament's Central Hall. Post that, Modi called on President Ram Nath Kovind to stake his claim to form the government, following which he will be sworn in as the next prime minister, likely next week. Modi's election was a mere formality as the NDA had already declared him the alliance's prime ministerial candidate. He has led the NDA to a landslide win in the general election, with the BJP winning 303 seats, its highest ever, and its allies 50.
