Delhi: BJP all set to elect new National President, nomination process scheduled for 2 pm

BJP's nomination process for national president begins today. Nitin Nabin, backed by PM Modi, is set to become the party's youngest-ever chief.

"Nitin Nabin is expected to be elected unopposed as the party's 12th national president, making him the youngest to hold the position."

New Delhi, January 19

The Bhartiya Janata Party is all set to elect its new National President today, with the nomination process underway at the party headquarters in Delhi. The event is expected to witness a grand show of strength, with chief ministers from BJP-ruled states, state unit heads, and senior leaders converging in the capital.

The nomination process is scheduled to take place between 2 pm and 4 pm, followed by the scrutiny of nomination papers from 4 pm to 5 pm. Candidates will have the option to withdraw their nominations between 5 pm and 6 pm, and the national election officer will issue a press statement at 6:30 pm.

Nitin Nabin, BJP's National Working President, is all set to file his nomination for the top post today. With the backing of top leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Nitin Nabin is expected to be elected unopposed as the party's 12th national president, making him the youngest to hold the position.

The electoral college, comprising representatives from the party's national council and state councils, will finalise the new president. As per the BJP constitution, a candidate must be proposed jointly by at least 20 members of a state's electoral college and have a minimum of 15 years of membership.

If everything goes as planned, the BJP will announce its new national president on January 20, 2026. The event is being seen as a significant milestone in the party's history, with Nabin's election expected to bring a new wave of energy and unity to the party.

Nitin Nabin is currently 45 years old. He was appointed as the national working president on December 14, 2025. Now, the party is likely to make him the national president. If this happens, he'll be the youngest ever to hold the post.

The BJP is gearing up for its national president election, and the party headquarters is buzzing with activity. The elevation of Nabin will also mark a huge generational shift for the party as it gears up for critical elections this year and next.

Interesting to see the internal democratic process of a major party. The generational shift is notable. Will be watching to see how this impacts their policy direction and electoral strategy.

While new leadership is welcome, I hope this isn't just about show of strength and unity. The real test is delivering on ground for farmers, youth, and women. Actions speak louder than titles.

Being elected unopposed with the backing of top leadership shows strong internal consensus. This is crucial for stability as we head into important state elections. Good move by the party.

The 15-year membership rule makes sense to ensure experience. At 45, he brings both youth and a decent tenure in the party. Let's see if he can bridge the gap between the old guard and new karyakartas.

Hope the new president focuses on constructive politics and development agendas rather than just electoral calculations. The country needs parties to work together on key issues like economy and education.
