The process will depend on the conclusion of organizational elections in all state units of the party. A senior BJP leader said that the polling process would likely be over in more than half of the state units by mid-January. This development is in tune with the BJP constitution that mandates that organizational polls should be over in at least half of its state units before beginning the election of the national president.
To date, no candidate has been announced officially by the party for this position. Reports indicate, however, that Nadda’s successor could be either a Union minister or someone from the party’s organizational structure.
J.P. Nadda became the national president of BJP in February 2020, following Amit Shah. His term would be remembered for massive election campaigns, including the forthcoming general elections in 2024. The change will be part of the routine process of organizational restructuring of the BJP to ensure its unrelenting dominance in Indian politics.
The BJP’s internal elections and leadership transitions are watched closely, given the party’s influential role in shaping India’s political landscape. The selection of a new national president is expected to influence the party’s strategies and policies in the coming years.
