Varahagiri Venkata Giri (Acting President & President)
In Office – May 3, 1969 to July 19, 1969
The demise of Zakir Husain in office made it necessary to elevate Vice President Varahagiri Venkata Giri to the position of the (acting) President of India. He served in this capacity for over a couple of months and then resigned in order to be considered a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections.
