Nitin Nabin to be elected BJP President on January 20

BJP's Nitin Nabin will file nomination on Jan 19 and is set to be elected national president on Jan 20, succeeding JP Nadda, party sources confirm.

"One set will have the signatures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and JP Nadda."

By Toshi Mandola, New Delhi, January 13

Bharatiya Janata Party National Working President Nitin Nabin will assume the post of BJP National President, succeeding JP Nadda, on January 20, sources aware of the development said on Tuesday.

Nitin Nabin, who was elected as the party's working president in December, will file his nomination on January 19 and is likely to be elected as President on January 20.

According to the sources, all Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states, all state BJP presidents, national office bearers, and senior BJP leaders have been asked to be present in Delhi.

BJP's Chief Election Officer K. Lakshman will announce the name of the national president, Nitin Nabin. Three sets of nominations will be filed for the national president's post. One set will have the signatures of more than 20 elected state BJP presidents. One set will have the signatures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and JP Nadda.

The third set will have the signatures of the members of the BJP National Council.

If only one name is nominated, the national president's name will be announced the same day, sources said.

Meanwhile, a major meeting has begun under the chairmanship of JP Nadda regarding preparation for the BJP president's election, according to sources.

Working President Nitin Nabin, B. L. Santhosh, Sunil Bansal, Arun Singh, and Tarun Chugh are present at the meeting. The meeting is to review preparations for the BJP president's election, scheduled for January 19 and 20, the sources said.

BJP had appointed Bihar Minister and five-term MLA Nitin Nabin as the party's working president in December of last year. Union Minister JP Nadda currently helms the national party. The appointment of Nabin is seen as the party focusing on youth leadership.

Since his appointment as the National Working President, Nitin Nabin has been deeply engaged in the party's preparations for the upcoming state assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, West Bengal, and Puducherry.

Recently, Nitin Nabin visited Tamil Nadu to review party preparations to face Chief Minister MK Stalin-led DMK. Before Tamil Nadu, he was in Assam, where BJP's Himanta Biswa Sarma is going to face a tough competition from Congress.

The process seems very streamlined and well-organized. Having the signatures of PM Modi and other senior leaders shows strong internal support. Hope the new president focuses on strengthening the party at the grassroots level.

While I support the party, I hope this isn't just a ceremonial change. The real test will be the upcoming state elections in Bengal, Tamil Nadu etc. The working president role was a good grooming period. Let's see how he delivers now.

Interesting to see the focus on youth leadership. As an observer, the BJP's organizational structure and succession planning seem quite robust compared to other parties. The January 20th announcement appears to be a formality now.

His ground work in Assam and Tamil Nadu shows he's not just a Delhi leader. Understanding regional politics is crucial for a national president. Good luck to him! The party needs a strong hand for the 2024 preparations.

With all due respect to the process and the leader, I hope the new president will also encourage more internal debate and diverse voices within the party. A single narrative isn't always healthy for any large organization.
