With nearly two decades of organisational experience,  Nabin has held several key roles within the party, including Bihar President of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) and the BJP’s election in-charge for Chhattisgarh

The BJP Parliamentary Board has appointed Bihar minister and five-time MLA Nitin Nabin as the National Working President of the party with immediate effect. Widely regarded as an organisational leader, Mr Nabin currently represents the Bankipur Assembly constituency in Patna district and holds the Road Construction portfolio in the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government.

 Mr Nabin is the son of veteran BJP leader and former MLA late Nabin Kishore Prasad Sinha. At 45, Mr Nabin is the youngest Working President in the party’s history and the first BJP leader from Bihar to be appointed to the post.

With nearly two decades of organisational experience, Mr Nabin has held several key roles within the party, including Bihar President of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) and the BJP’s election in-charge for Chhattisgarh.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Nabin on his elevation, describing him as a dedicated worker who has established a distinct identity within the party.

"He is a young and hardworking leader who possesses considerable experience in the organisation. His work as an MLA and minister in Bihar has been very effective, and he has worked with complete dedication to fulfill the aspirations of the people. He is known for his humble nature and for working on the ground," PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Nitin Nabin's energy and commitment will further strengthen the party in the times ahead.

Nabin, the five-term Bihar MLA who belongs to the Kayastha community, is likely to succeed incumbent BJP chief JP Nadda.

The organisational reshuffle comes at a time when the party is transitioning its top leadership structure. Incumbent BJP national president JP Nadda, who was appointed to the post in January 2020, has already completed his original term. Nadda was granted multiple extensions to steer the party through crucial political milestones, including the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

JP Nadda also congratulated Nabin on the elevation, calling his a "dynamic BJP leader from Bihar". He wished him "a successful and illustrious tenure".
