A possibility is that a working party president can be appointed, the sources said. "The extension of Nadda's tenure aims to ensure continuity in leadership until conclusion of upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand and Union Territory of J&K are completed by November," a party leader said.

"The decision to extend Nadda's term reportedly hinges on two factors. Firstly, with state elections on the horizon, the party leadership seeks to maintain stability and cohesion under Nadda's guidance.
