Nitin Nabin, a 46-year-old MLA from Bihar, has been appointed as the BJP's working president, ending a prolonged stalemate. The selection reportedly stemmed from a compromise between the RSS, which favored senior leaders like Gadkari or Fadnavis, and the BJP high command, which preferred ministers like Pradhan or Yadav. Nabin's relatively unknown status and younger age were cited as reasons for his selection, with the intention to test him as working president before deciding on a full-time leader.
