Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Nabin is set to announce his new team soon, with the average age of its members likely to be under 55. According to sources, Sunil Bansal and Vinod Tawde may
continue as general secretaries. Sources said multiple rounds of meetings have been held to finalise the list, with state and regional representation being a key consideration in the selection process.
Thursday’s meeting
Nabin on Thursday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah amid talks of a reshuffle in the party’s central team. According to sources, BJP general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh was also present at the meeting, which lasted for about three hours at Shah’s residence.

While there was no official word, the meeting is learnt to have discussed a range of issues, including the BJP’s new team of national office-bearers. The BJP’s new central team under Nabin is expected to have a mix of “experienced seniors and younger leaders”, the sources said. They also suggested that some leaders holding positions in the government could be moved to the party and assigned key responsibilities. The names of those to be inducted into the BJP’s new central team will soon be announced, the sources added.
Structural reset
Nitin Nabin is the current and youngest-ever National President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He officially took charge of the party on January 20, 2026, at the age of 45, breaking the previous record held by Nitin Gadkari. He succeeded J.P. Nadda after being elected unopposed during the party’s internal organisational elections (Sangathan Parv).
News18 had earlier reported that these changes, involving key state appointments and a generational shift, are based on recent internal assessments. The changes are closely tied to regional shifts, including poll preparations in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar, and Punjab.
The rise of Nabin represents a deliberate push towards normalising a younger leadership succession model while retaining strict ideological continuity. The structural reset coincides with upcoming Assembly bypolls, including the seat recently vacated by Nitin Nabin himself following his elevation to the party’s top post.
This central reshuffle follows major preparatory restructuring at the state level. Just days earlier, the BJP executed a sweeping organisational overhaul in its poll-bound Uttar Pradesh unit, replacing all six regional presidents to recalibrate regional and caste equations ahead of key electoral contests.
