Delhi: JP Nadda arrives at BJP headquarters ahead of National President nominations
New Delhi, January 19
BJP leaders including the current National President JP Nadda, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Haryana Chief Minister Naib Saini, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, among others arrived at the party headquarters ahead of the nominations for the BJP National President on Monday.
BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad applauded the potential selection of Nitin Nabin as the National President of the Bhartiya Janata Party, saying that it's a matter of great fortune for Bihar that a senior leader is becoming the National President.
"It is a matter of great fortune that a senior leader from our Bihar is today becoming the National President... Today is a matter of great joy for us... He is my voter in Patna, and I am his... May he be highly successful, take the party forward, that is our best wish," he said.
BJP leader Deepak Prakash said, "Nominations are going to be filed today, and as BJP workers, it is a day of celebration for all of us. Therefore, we have all come... We will participate in Nitin Nabin's nomination."
Meanwhile, Nitin Nabin, the BJP's National Working President, is all set to file his nomination for the top post today.
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 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, succeeding JP Nadda. If this happens, he'll be the youngest ever to hold the post.

Interesting to follow the internal political processes of a major party like the BJP. The structured nomination timeline shows organizational discipline.
As a BJP worker from UP, this is indeed a day of celebration. Jai Shri Ram! Hope the new president continues the development work and strengthens the party base.
While change is good, I hope the focus remains on governance and real issues like inflation and employment, not just party politics. The new leadership must deliver.
A leader from Bihar becoming National President is a proud moment for the state. It shows the party's reach across all regions. Best wishes to Nitin Nabin ji!
The seamless transition of power within the party's structure is noteworthy. It will be interesting to see how a younger president influences the BJP's strategy leading up to future elections.
