New Delhi : The next BJP chief could be announced within a fortnight, media reports said citing sources.

As per reports, BJP's organisational elections of the party have been completed in 12 states.

NDTV quoting sources said the party's national president is likely to be announced before March 15, after which an inauspicious period starts in the Hindu calendar.

Party elections in Tamil Nadu, Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat are already over as well as the situation in Assam. There will be no change in Bihar, where assembly elections are due by the end of this year.

State in-charges have already been asked to submit prospective names.

Some states like UP and Gujarat are likely to get unit presidents before a national president is announced.

Nadda's tenure was extended until June 2024 given the Lok Sabha election.

With his induction into the government, the party has been looking at prospective candidates to succeed him.
