Forty-five-year-old Nitin Nabin was elected unopposed as the BJP national president, the youngest ever to occupy the post as it seeks to further expand its influence in uncharted territories.
Nabin, a five-term Bihar MLA and a former minister in the state, emerged as the sole candidate for the top party post with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior BJP leaders filing nomination papers in his support.
Nabin will be formally declared as the BJP president on Tuesday. He will succeed J P Nadda, who has been at the helm for an extended period since 2020.
