"The appointment of Nitin Nabin as the new BJP national president is likely to be announced by January 20. - Sources"

By Toshi Mandola, New Delhi, December 27

State BJP Presidents from across the country are likely to be summoned to Delhi after January 15 for the election of the party's National President.

According to sources, the election process for the BJP's National President is expected to be completed between January 18 and January 20. The appointment of Nitin Nabin as the new BJP national president is likely to be announced by January 20.

The organisational election process has been completed in more than half of the BJP-ruled states, with 29 out of 37 states finalising their internal elections.

State Presidents from these states will submit one set of nomination papers supporting Nitin Nabin's candidature for the post of national president. Another set of nomination papers will be filed by members of the BJP's National Council.

The nomination papers backing Nitin Nabin will also carry the signatures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, sources added.

Since Nitin Nabin is the only candidate expected to file nomination papers, his election as national president will be officially announced soon after the scrutiny of nominations by BJP Chief Election Officer K Laxman.

All Chief Ministers and State Presidents of BJP-ruled states have been instructed to remain present in Delhi on the occasion.

Sources also noted that Nitin Nabin's term as National President will be from January 2026 to January 2029. With the Lok Sabha elections scheduled in 2029, his term is likely to be extended beyond that year.

The BJP's appointment of Nitin Nabin, 45, as National President reflects the party's focus on projecting young leadership.

The process seems very streamlined and well-organized. Having the support of both PM Modi and HM Shah shows strong internal consensus. Hopefully, this leadership will strengthen the party's grassroots work further.

While I support the party, I hope this isn't just a rubber-stamp election. A bit more transparency and even a symbolic contest would be healthy for internal democracy. Just my two paise.

Interesting to follow Indian political processes from abroad. The article mentions his term goes through the 2029 elections. Seems like a long-term strategic appointment focused on continuity.

Good to see a focus on younger leadership. The party needs fresh faces who understand the aspirations of a young India. His term covering the next Lok Sabha election will be a big test. All the best to him!

The organizational strength of BJP is really impressive. Completing internal elections in 29 states is no small feat. This smooth transition shows a party that is disciplined and future-ready.
