Who else is there?
According to the report, party leaders said Nabin, 45, is young but brings considerable experience in governance and service to both the people and the party.
Nabin hails from the Kayastha community.
He has also been actively involved in the Yuva Morcha and has experience of responsibilities as a senior civil servant.
Nabin serves as a minister in the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government, handling the road construction portfolio. He is also the MLA representing Bankipur constituency in Patna district.
Son of veteran BJP leader and former MLA Nabin Kishore Prasad Sinha, Nitin Nabin entered active politics after his father’s death in 2006 and won his first election in a by-election that year. He has since been elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly in 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2025, with his victory in 2025 secured by a margin of over 51,000 votes.
