The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday announced the appointment of Bihar minister Nitin Nabin as its National Working President, marking a significant organisational transition within the party.
Nabin, who currently serves as Bihar’s Road Construction Minister in the Nitish Kumar-led government, has been a prominent figure in state politics since first entering the Assembly in 2006. A five-term MLA from the Bankipur constituency, he secured another decisive victory in the 2025 elections with a margin of over 52,000 votes.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Nabin, praising his dedication, grassroots connect, and humble nature. “He is a young and hardworking leader who has worked with complete commitment to fulfill the aspirations of the people,” Modi said.
Born in Ranchi in 1980, Nabin comes from a family with deep political roots. His father, late Nabin Kishore Prasad Sinha, was a veteran BJP leader and former MLA. Over the years, Nabin has held several key organisational roles, including national general secretary, state president of BJP Yuva Morcha, and election in-charge for Sikkim.
His elevation comes as the BJP prepares for a leadership transition, with incumbent national president JP Nadda completing his extended term. Nabin’s appointment signals the party’s intent to blend youthful energy with organisational experience at the national level.
