Jammu, Dec 31: Sat Sharma is likely to be reappointed unopposed as the president of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Jammu and Kashmir unit.
As part of the ongoing organisational elections of the J&K BJP, the election for the president is scheduled to take place over three days, from January 10 to January 12, 2025.
“The party high command wants the J&K President to be elected unopposed and through consensus within the party,” highly placed sources within the BJP told Rising Kashmir. They added that Sat Sharma has emerged as the consensus candidate for the position.
