If everything goes well, BJP's internal election for its state president's post will be over by the first week of February and it is likely that the person would be elected unopposed.

In Karnataka, the state president has always been chosen unanimously without an election. Though the party is on the verge of completing the eligibility process for the election, it is facing many challenges.

As per the eligibility process, the party should have completed 50 per cent of the process for electing presidents at booth, mandal and district level, and the party has till now completed the criteria for district and mandal level. The party's core committee meeting on Tuesday listed three names from each district for 23 out of 39 districts.
