Bharatiya Janata Party may get its new national president in January 2025: Sources
According to reports on Friday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to elect a new national president in January 2025.
The sources claim that state party presidents would be chosen by January 15 and BJP mandal presidents by the end of December 2024.
In addition to being the Union Health Minister, JP Nadda has been the President of the BJP since 2019. He was the Health Minister of the BJP administration from 2014 to 2019.
Under his leadership, the party ran in many assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He is a Gujarati Rajya Sabha MP at the moment.
The BJP is already making ready to have an organizational election and is getting ready to elect new leaders at the national level.
The party’s local committee elections will take place first, as usual, and then the mandal, district, regional, and state committee elections. A group of office-bearers is nominated by the president chosen at each level.
A full-time national president is chosen after elections are conducted in half of the states. A group of office-bearers is then chosen by the newly elected national president. About two months are needed for the whole procedure.
A BJP national president may serve no more than two three-year terms in a row. When the RSS wanted Nitin Gadkari to lead the BJP for a second straight term in 2012, this change was made. But Gadkari was abruptly replaced by Rajnath Singh, who remained in the position till the party won the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
He was later succeeded as the head of the BJP by Amit Shah. Since January 2020, Nadda has led the party and is now on an extension.
