The Odisha unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to announce its new state president soon, with the decision almost finalized at the party’s core committee meeting held on Friday.

Speaking on the development, Balasore MP and returning officer for the party’s organizational election, Pratap Chandra Sarangi, confirmed that the selection process is nearly complete. “It is almost final, and the name of the new president will be declared in two to three days,” Sarangi said.

The meeting also focused on strengthening coordination between the party and the state government. BJP leaders discussed strategies to enhance the party’s organizational structure and ensure seamless communication with the government to bolster its political presence in Odisha.

With the 2024 elections behind and the party looking ahead to future electoral battles, the appointment of a new president is expected to play a crucial role in shaping BJP’s strategy in the state. Party members are keenly awaiting the official announcement, which will set the course for BJP’s leadership in Odisha in the coming years.
