Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to get a new national party president by mid-March.

“We have the process. According to the information that is there in the public domain, we will get the party’s new president by mid-March,” Puri said when asked about the upcoming BJP president in the national capital.

The election for the National President is set to take place after the party’s state units hold their respective elections.

This process was initially supposed to be completed in January, but due to the Delhi Assembly elections and pending elections in several state units, the selection of a new president has been delayed.

According to the BJP’s constitution, the election of the National President requires that at least 50 percent of the state units have already elected their respective presidents. Therefore, the election process at the state level is being expedited.
