New Delhi, Jan 19: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to elect its new National President today, with the nomination process underway at the party headquarters in Delhi. The much-anticipated event, part of the ongoing Sangathan Parv, is expected to showcase the party's strength, as chief ministers from BJP-ruled states, state unit heads, and senior leaders gather in the capital.

The nomination process will take place from 2 pm to 4 pm, followed by scrutiny of nomination papers from 4 pm to 5 pm. Candidates will have the opportunity to withdraw their nominations between 5 pm and 6 pm, with the national election officer issuing a press statement at 6:30 pm.

Nitin Nabin, BJP's National Working President, is set to file his nomination for the top post today. With the strong backing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Nabin is expected to be elected unopposed as the party's 12th National President. At just 45 years old, he is set to become the youngest-ever person to hold this prestigious position.

The electoral college, comprising representatives from the party's national and state councils, will finalize the new president. According to the BJP's constitution, a candidate must be proposed by at least 20 members of a state's electoral college and have a minimum of 15 years of party membership.

If all goes according to plan, BJP will announce its new National President on January 20, 2026, marking a significant milestone in the party's history. Nabin’s anticipated elevation is expected to bring renewed energy and unity to the party as it prepares for crucial elections in the coming months.

Having been appointed as the National Working President on December 14, 2025, Nabin's ascension to the top post will also signal a generational shift within the party. With his youth and leadership, the BJP is looking forward to a new chapter in its journey towards future political success.
