Making a major organisational change, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday appointed Bihar cabinet minister Nitin Nabin as the party’s National Working President.
The decision was approved by the BJP Parliamentary Board.
The term of the current BJP National President JP Nadda has ended, and the party has been deliberating on his successor for some time.
In the meantime, the top leadership has entrusted the responsibility of National Working President to Nitin Nabin.
According to a letter issued by BJP National General Secretary Arun Singh, the Parliamentary Board has appointed Nitin Nabin as the National Working President of the party with immediate effect.
The notification clarified that the order has been communicated to the National President, all state in-charges, state presidents, and organisation general secretaries.
Nitin Nabin is an MLA from the Bankipur constituency in Patna.
In the Assembly elections held last month, he defeated RJD candidate Rekha Kumari.
He is a five-time MLA and is regarded as a disciplined and committed party worker.
Coming from a political background, Nitin Nabin is the son of Naveen Kishore Prasad Sinha, a senior and prominent BJP leader in Bihar.
From student politics to holding key organisational and ministerial roles, Nitin Nabin has steadily risen through the ranks of the party.
His appointment is being seen as a significant move by the BJP leadership, reflecting confidence in his organisational skills and political experience.
At 45, Nitin Nabin has established himself as an effective Road Construction Minister in the Bihar government.

He is widely regarded as a young, energetic leader with a modern outlook, and his administrative style has earned him recognition within the party.
Earlier, the BJP had also announced a key organisational change in Uttar Pradesh, where Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary was appointed as the new president of the state unit, as part of the party’s broader organisational restructuring ahead of upcoming political challenges.
Nabin vows to justify faith shown in him by PM Modi
Meanwhile, Nitin Nabin on Sunday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior party leaders for giving him the top organisation responsibility, vowing to do justice to the faith shown in him.
“It is the party’s hardworking workers who are behind victories across the nation, and they are the ones who are the force behind leaders like Nitin Nabin and even PM Modi,” 45-year-old Nabin, a senior minister in the Bihar cabinet, told IANS.
The working chief of the world’s largest political organisation also hit out at the Congress and its supporters for using abusive language against PM Modi at a rally in New Delhi in the afternoon.
“We have seen in the past as well, every time PM Modi is abused, the PM Modi’s Tsunami grows bigger, and he emerges victorious with a bigger margin,” said Nabin, a five-time MLA and Bihar Minister.
Talking about the post-election celebrations in Bihar and his Bankipur constituency, he said, “I know that the hard work and dedication of these party workers is the reason for the continuous success of the BJP in Bankipur, West Patna. It is also the good fortune of all of us that these workers have nurtured and produced leaders like Nitin Nabin…”
