UP BJP President Election: Pankaj Chaudhary Leads, Name Announcement Tomorrow

The process for electing the new Uttar Pradesh BJP president has begun, with nominations starting today in Lucknow. Key leaders like Piyush Goyal and Vinod Tawde are present for the nomination process. The race is currently led by Pankaj Chaudhary, seven-time MP from Maharajganj and Union Minister of State for Finance. Other prominent contenders include Dharmapal Lodhi and BL Verma, both influential OBC leaders with central government experience. The formal announcement of the new president is expected tomorrow. The new UP BJP chief faces significant challenges, including strategizing for the 2026 Panchayat and 2027 Assembly elections and regaining lost voter bases, especially after the setbacks in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This leadership change is closely watched across political circles.
