The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to announce its next national president before March 15, sources have revealed. The party has completed its organisational elections in 12 states, paving the way for a leadership change.
Leadership Transition Underway
With JP Nadda’s tenure extended until June 2024 to oversee the Lok Sabha elections, the party has been deliberating on his successor. Now, as Nadda moves into the government, BJP is finalizing potential candidates to take over the top post.
States Finalizing Leadership
Elections have already concluded in key states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Bengal, and Assam. While Bihar will see no change due to upcoming state elections, BJP state in-charges have been asked to submit prospective names for leadership roles.
Some states, such as Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, are expected to appoint unit presidents before the national president is announced.
Efforts to Build Consensus
The process has taken time as BJP leaders aim to build a consensus before finalizing the next party chief. According to sources, the announcement is expected before March 15, after which an inauspicious period begins in the Hindu calendar.
With BJP’s internal elections nearing completion, all eyes are now on the leadership decision that will shape the party’s future ahead of key state polls and national strategies.
