Possibility of Unanimous Election

How is the BJP President elected?

The National President of the Bharatiya Janata Party is elected by an electoral college comprising representatives from the party's National Council and State Councils. This entire process is overseen by the party's National Returning Officer. Any 20 members of a state's electoral college can jointly propose the name of a person for the post of National President who has been an active member of the party for four terms and has completed 15 years of membership. However, such a joint proposal must come from at least five states where elections to the National Council have already been held.
