Nitin Nabin elected BJP national president unopposed; formal takeover held on 20 January
The BJP’s organisational leadership changed hands in January with Nitin Nabin elected unopposed as national president, following an internal election process that culminated in his formal assumption of charge on 20 January 2026.
BJP leader Nitin Nabin was elected unopposed as the party’s national president in an internal organisational election, with the formal charge-taking scheduled for 20 January 2026 at the party headquarters.
The report said the election process moved ahead after the required number of state unit presidents had been elected, and that multiple sets of nomination papers were filed in Nabin’s favour before scrutiny.
The transition is being viewed as part of a broader organisational reshuffle ahead of upcoming political contests, with senior leadership expected to attend the ceremony.
