Since December 2025, the incumbent National Working President of Bharatiya Janata Party is its five-term BJP MLA in the Bankipur constituency at Patna, Nitin Nabin (born May 23, 1980), who is the youngest-ever candidate to assume the presidency of the BJP at the age of 45 in April 2026.
The son of an old BJP organizer Naveen Kishor Sinha, Nabin made Patna City a BJP bastion at the booth level with his mastery of the Iron Booth in Road Construction, Urban Development, and Law without losing any important ministerial portfolio in Bihar.

The appointment of Nitin Nabin as BJP National Working President on December 14, 2025, is a generational change of leadership in the ruling party of India. It makes the 45-year-old Bihar MLA the youngest and the first Bihari to be named to this organizational important position.
Nabin, who was appointed by the BJP Parliamentary Board, immediately, is in effect deputy to outgoing president J.P. Nadda, day-to-day operations being conducted under preparation of the 2026 presidential election in which Nabin is the front-runner.
Nitin Nabin’s Responsibilities & Powers
As National Working President, Nabin oversees:
| Portfolio | Key Duties |
| Organizational Management | State unit coordination, cadre training, membership drives |
| Election Strategy | Candidate selection, booth management for 2026 state polls |
| Campaign Oversight | Lok Sabha bypolls, urban mobilization |
| Policy Outreach | Translating Modi govt schemes via karyakartas |
| Youth Wing | BJYM integration (his forte) |
How was Nitin Nabin Appointed as the National Working President?
This was decided upon in the context of post 2024 Lok Sabha organizational restructuring. As the term of Nadda had been increased by the elections that have now been held, BJP was looking at an energetic successor who would be a blend of a grassroot and electoral performer. Nabin emerged through:
-
BJP Recommendation: HQ Arun Singh (National Gen Secy) announced after Parliamentary Board meeting.
-
RSS Backing: Good swayamsevak qualifications since BJYM times.
-
Patna Model: Metro-level superiority reproduced in the cities across the country.
-
Monthly Charge-Taking: December 15, 2025 at BJP HQ, New Delhi. Amit Shah, Nadda; PM Modi congratulated him on twitter by calling him a hardworking karyakarta.
The rise of a 26-year old bypoll winner, Nitin Nabin, on the cadre legacy of his father, into the National Working President of BJP denotes the meritocracy in the party between the booths and boardrooms.
A flawless electoral track record (5/5 Bankipur wins), skill in urban mobilisation, and delivery of clean governance in the portfolio of Road Construction and Urban Development in Bihar make him the ideal transition between the Modi electoral machine of 2014-24 and post 75 period.
