BJP likely to get new national president by March, 20, say sources

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to get its new national president by March 20, the sources said. The election for the national president is due and will take place after party elections in the state units.

The election for the national president is due and was supposed to be completed in January. However, the Delhi Assembly elections and pending state unit elections furthered the delay in electing the successor of JP Nadda.

As per the BJP Constitution, the election for the national president of the party can not be conducted before the elections in half of the states. So far, the BJP has completed elections in 12 out of 28 states and 8 Union Territories. The BJP is likely to conduct elections in six states in the coming weeks to fulfil the criteria.
