As the internal polls started last year, the party has elected ovee 10 new state heads and held elections for 28 states and union territories.

JP Nadda, who is the Union Health Minister, has held the party’s national president post since 2020. Even as his term ended in 2023, the BJP extended it till 2024 so he could steer the party through the Lok Sabha elections.

Now, the election of the BJP’s national president will be conducted only after the successful completion of elections in key states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Delhi and Haryana, among others.
