BJP Presidential Election 2026: Notification Released, Dates Announced
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday announced the schedule for the election of its national president.
The process will take into account the six-year tenure of the current national president and Union Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda, with the announcement of his successor scheduled on January 20, the date Nadda officially took over the position in 2020.
BJP MP and national returning officer K Laxman opened the nomination process, stating that nominations for the post will be accepted from Monday morning. This will be followed by a review of the nominations by potential candidates on January 19. The results will be announced after internal polling, if necessary.
Sources indicate that this stipulation was included because 45-year-old Nitin Nabin, the BJP’s national working president and a former minister in Bihar, is expected to be the sole candidate for the position based on the national leadership’s decision. If elected, he will be the youngest person to hold the post.
