The BJP on Wednesday announced the schedule for the election of the party's national president, which will pave the way for Amit Shah's return for a full term as the next president.

"The nomination will take place between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on January 24 and the scrutiny will be done on the same day," the party's returning officer and MP Avinash Rai Khanna said in a press release.
