Thu Feb 27 17:07:19 UTC 2025: ## BJP Poised to Announce New National President Within Two Weeks

**New Delhi, [Date]** – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to announce its new national president within the next two weeks, sources revealed today. The announcement is likely to be made before March 15th, before an inauspicious period begins in the Hindu calendar.

The party’s organizational elections, a prerequisite for the presidential election, have been completed in 12 out of 36 states. Elections in at least six more states are needed to meet the requirement of 50% completion. The BJP is expediting the process in states with upcoming assembly elections, including Tamil Nadu, Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Gujarat. Bihar, with elections later this year, will remain unchanged.

State in-charges have already submitted potential candidates for the top post. While speculation is rife, sources caution against predicting a specific name given the BJP’s history of surprising choices. However, the consensus is that the new president must be acceptable to the party and its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and possess strong organizational experience.

The party is also reportedly considering factors such as caste representation, the north-south divide, and the need to strengthen its base in Uttar Pradesh following setbacks in the last Lok Sabha elections.

JP Nadda, whose tenure was extended until June 2024, has been serving as president since January 2020. The selection process has been deliberate, aiming for a consensus among party leaders, a process which has reportedly proven challenging in some states due to internal dissent.
