The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to recast its Parliamentary Board, the party’s highest decision-making body, and the Central Election Committee (CEC), which takes a call on candidate selections for various polls, people aware of the matter said
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to overhaul its highest decision-making bodies, the Parliamentary Board and Central Election Committee (CEC), according to sources familiar with the matter. Both entities were last restructured in 2022, following a previous reshuffle in 2014. The BJP has recently unveiled a new roster of national office bearers, with 65 members announced on August 17.
These individuals are scheduled to convene with party president Nitin Nabin on Saturday for a formal meeting. Following this, the party will allocate roles and states to the new office bearers, as per the party's constitution. The Parliamentary Board, led by the party president and comprising 10 other members, including the leader of the party in Parliament, may see changes.
It currently consists of 12 members, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and JP Nadda. Sudha Yadav, the sole woman on the board, is expected to remain in her position. The CEC, comprising the Parliamentary Board and eight additional members, presently has 15 members, including Sudha Yadav and former women's wing chief Vanathi Srinivasan.
The national executive and national council, which involves 120 members and representatives from state councils and legislative parties, respectively, will also undergo reconstitution.
