The Bharatiya Janata Party yesterday formally entered a new generational phase with the elevation of Nitin Nabin (45) as its national president, marking a deliberate push towards youth-led leadership while maintaining organisational continuity ahead of key elections and the 2029 Lok Sabha battle.

Nabin was unanimously elected as BJP president at the party headquarters in New Delhi, succeeding Jagat Prakash Nadda, after emerging as the sole candidate with 37 nomination sets, including endorsements from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and senior leader Nitin Gadkari.
