Nikki Haley, Indian-American Republican politician and former US envoy to the UN, will be among the star speakers on the first day of the Republican National Convention (RNC) which begins on Monday, according to a list released by the Trump campaign.

The four-day RNC will formally nominate 74-year-old incumbent President Donald Trump as the party’s candidate for the November 3 US presidential election.

Haley, 48, the two-term Governor of South Carolina, is the only Indian-American leader to be featured in the list of RNC speakers released by the Trump campaign on Sunday.

She is considered as one of the potential presidential candidates of the Republican Party post the Trump era.
