The BJP is already on the verge of holding the organisation election, preparation is all set for getting new presidents from the booth to the national level.

As always, the elections to the party's local committees will be held first, followed by-polls for the mandal, district, regional and state committees. The president elected at each level nominates a team of office-bearers.

Once elections to half the states are held, an election is held for a full-time national president. The new national president then nominates a team of office-bearers. The whole process takes about two months.

A BJP national president can have a maximum of two consecutive terms of three years each. This amendment was made in 2012 when the RSS wanted Nitin Gadkari to head the BJP for a second consecutive term. However, at the last moment, Rajnath Singh replaced Gadkari and held the post till the party won the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Amit Shah replaced him as the BJP chief then. Nadda has been party chief since January 2020 and is on an extension. (ANI)
