BJP's 2-front fight: Assembly polls, naming new party chief

The central leadership is learnt to have expedited the organisational process, and may spring a surprise in picking a candidate for the party president.

The appointment of the new BJP president through organisational elections is expected to take place in the second or third week of January 2025.

A meeting on the party's presidential election is due on November 20 at the BJP headquarters. It will bring together senior leaders and office-bearers from the central election committee. The discussions, party sources said, will set the stage for the presidential election, where the successor to JP Nadda will be decided.
