BJP’s new national working president Nitin Nabin took charge on Monday (December 15, 2025) at the party’s headquarters in New Delhi in the presence of senior leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, party president and Minister J.P. Nadda, and Ministers Piyush Goyal and Dharmendra Pradhan among others.
Before leaving Bihar, Mr. Nabin visited the Mahavir temple in Patna and offered homage at the statue of his father, the late BJP leader Nabin Kishore Prasad Sinha at a park in the city.
“I have always worked on the ideas of my father, who considered the party as his mother and prioritised the nation over everything. I think that is the reason the party has blessed me with this opportunity to continue working with BJP workers,” he said. He expressed confidence over the BJP’s prospects in the coming Assembly polls in West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
Mr. Nabin’s elevation as possibly the youngest ever BJP president at 45 years of age took many by surprise even as it has ended more than 18 months of suspense over who would replace Mr. Nadda at the helm of affairs in the party. The generational shift effected by this move comes after nearly a decade of such changes being made in the BJP at the block, mandal and district levels, to reduce the average age of the office-bearers of the party to below 50. Even before the formal election of Mr. Nadda, this push was made before 2020, as a result of which nearly all the 700 district presidents of the party had been chosen from party men and women among below 50 years of age.
