The BJP has appointed Kiren Rijiju, Harsh Malhotra, and Ravi Shankar Prasad as state election officers for overseeing its organisational elections in Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal respectively.

K Laxman, the national returning officer for organisational elections, said that the three MPs will be the central leaders in charge of the elections of presidents and national council members from these states. These appointments mark a renewed push by the BJP to complete its internal electoral process, which is a constitutional prerequisite before electing the new national president.

According to the BJP's constitution, the election for the national president can only proceed once elections in more than half of the party’s 37 state and Union Territory units are completed. Currently, 14 state units have elected new presidents, but several politically crucial states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana are yet to undergo leadership changes.

Current BJP national president JP Nadda has been serving on an extended term since June 2024, and his term has been extended to facilitate a smooth transition.
