BJP leader Nitin Nabin on Tuesday formally took charge as the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, outgoing BJP national president JP Nadda, several other BJP leaders, and Chief Ministers from BJP-ruled states.

Nabin, a senior Indian politician, is a five-time member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly and former Minister in the government of Bihar. He is widely recognised for his sustained organisational acumen and administrative experience.

Born on May 23, 1980, in Jharkhand's Ranchi, Nabin entered electoral politics at a young age and was first elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly in 2006 from the Patna West Assembly Constituency.

Alongside his legislative career, Nabin has played a significant role in party organisation, holding national and state-level leadership positions. He has also been entrusted with important organisational responsibilities in states such as Sikkim and Chhattisgarh.

The BJP's National President Election process kicked off after 30 out of 36 State Presidents were elected, exceeding the required 50 per cent threshold. The Election Schedule was announced on January 16, 2026, along with the Electoral Roll.

As scheduled, the nomination process took place today, January 19, 2026, between 2 PM and 4 PM.

Interesting to see the generational shift in leadership. At 45, he brings a different energy. Hope he focuses on strengthening the party's internal democracy beyond just winning elections. The unanimous nomination process, while showing unity, could benefit from more open debate.

Good to see a leader with substantial administrative experience (Roads, Urban Development) getting this role. Hopefully, this means the party presidency will focus on governance and delivery, not just politics. His work in Sikkim and Chhattisgarh shows he understands diverse regions of India.

Observing from outside, the seamless transition of power within the BJP is noteworthy. The article mentions his "sustained organisational acumen" – that seems to be the key quality they were looking for. Will be interesting to see his strategy.
