Nitin Nabin is currently 45 years old. He was appointed as the national working president on December 14, 2025. Now, the party is likely to make him the national president, succeeding JP Nadda. If this happens, he'll be the youngest ever to hold the post.

The elevation of Nabin will also mark a huge generational shift for the party as it gears up for critical elections this year and next. (ANI)
