Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nitin Nabin was formally declared as the BJP national president, succeeding J P Nadda and beginning a new chapter for the party as it seeks to tighten its grip on politics in the country.

Nabin was sworn at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi and in the presence of party bigwhigs such as PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Union Ministers JP Nadda, Nitin Gadkari, and Piyush Goyal. K Laxman, Returning Officer for BJP organisational polls, declared the results of the organisational elections and handed over the certificate of election to Nabin.

Addressing a gathering, Nadda said, ‘Today is a very historic occasion, when our young, energetic, and talented Nitin Nabin is taking charge as the National President of the world's largest political party, the BJP. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to him on my behalf and on behalf of crores of workers’.

PM Narendra Modi congratulated Nitin Nabin on his election and declared that the young leader will be his boss in matters related to the party. 

Nabin became the 12th president of the BJP, which was founded in 1980, the same year he was born. The low-profile and unassuming Nabin had resigned as the minister for law and justice, urban development and housing in the Bihar government after he was appointed working president of the BJP on December 14.
