Congratulating Mr. Nabin, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote in a post on ‘X’, “Shri Nitin Nabin Ji has distinguished himself as a hard-working karyakarta (worker). He is a young and industrious leader with rich organisational experience and has an impressive record as MLA as well as minister in Bihar for multiple terms. He has diligently worked to fulfil people’s aspirations. He is known for his humble nature and grounded working style. I am confident that his energy and dedication will strengthen our Party in times to come. Congratulations to him on becoming the BJP National Working President.” 

The BJP’s parliamentary board on Sunday (December 14, 2025) notified the appointment of Bihar Minister and five-term MLA Nitin Nabin as the party’s national working president, ending months of suspense.

He is expected to be formally elected the president in January 2026. The party will endorse the election at its National Council meeting in April.

The incumbent national president and Union Minister J.P. Nadda is currently on an extension. Mr. Nadda had served as working president for a few months under the then national president Amit Shah, who became the Union Home Minister after the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
