Nitin Nabin Named BJP Chief

Young leader becomes youngest national president of the party

January 20, 2026: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nitin Nabin has risen rapidly through the party ranks after being formally elected as the BJP’s new national president. Considered a relatively lesser-known face at the national level, Nabin’s elevation marks a significant generational shift within the saffron party’s leadership.

At a young age, Nabin has now become the youngest national president in the BJP’s history. His appointment is being seen as an effort by the party to project fresh leadership while strengthening its organisational structure ahead of key political challenges in the coming years.

Party leaders have described Nabin as a disciplined organiser with strong grassroots experience. His elevation signals the BJP’s intent to combine experience with youth, as the party looks to consolidate its political position and expand its appeal across regions and demographics.
