After a prolonged delay, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is moving forward with its organisational elections across various states, a necessary step before the party elects its new national president. In this context, the BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit is actively working to appoint its next state president. Notably, the party is intensifying its efforts to complete organisational elections and install new leadership at various levels within the state unit.

This internal electoral process is being carried out prior to the selection of the BJP's national president. The election process within the Uttar Pradesh unit had already experienced considerable delay, primarily due to the recently concluded by-elections, in which the BJP secured a decisive victory.

Organisational elections in UP appear to have been delayed as the party's central leadership is still in the process of identifying a suitable leader from the Other Backward Classes (OBC), preferably from eastern UP, to occupy the top post, according to a party insider. The source further mentioned that the party is also exploring Dalit candidates, but the lack of a prominent figure from the Dalit community has become a limiting factor.
