Patna

Celebrations erupted across several parts of Bihar on Tuesday as BJP workers and supporters marked the appointment of Nitin Nabin as the new national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

In his Bankipur Assembly constituency, party supporters burst firecrackers and raised slogans to welcome the beginning of Nabin’s tenure at the helm of the party. Similar scenes were witnessed outside his residence in Patna, where BJP workers distributed sweets and expressed their enthusiasm over the leadership change.

Nitin Nabin formally assumed charge as BJP national president earlier in the day in a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, outgoing party chief JP Nadda, senior BJP leaders, and chief ministers from BJP-ruled states.

A senior leader from Bihar, Nabin is a five-time member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly, representing the Bankipur constituency. Known for his organisational skills and administrative experience, he has also served as a Cabinet Minister in the Bihar government, handling key portfolios including Road Construction, Urban Development and Housing, and Law.

Born on May 23, 1980, in Ranchi, Jharkhand, Nabin entered electoral politics at a young age. He was first elected to the Bihar Assembly in 2006 from the Patna West constituency and has since secured consecutive victories from Bankipur in the 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2025 elections.
