The BJP will likely appoint a new national president by the end of August as JP Nadda’s term concludes. Although Nadda’s official term ended in June, he has agreed to remain in office until his successor is chosen.
The party has yet to appoint any women as state presidents. Despite Smriti Irani’s recent electoral loss, her strong advocacy for women’s empowerment may influence the party’s decision on her future role.
Speculation grew after a two-hour meeting between Home Minister Amit Shah and General Secretary BS Satya on Wednesday. The BJP could announce the new president soon. Additionally, the ongoing meeting of state general secretaries, which began on July 25, might also shape the decision. Meanwhile, Nadda will assume the role of Health Minister in Modi’s third term.
