The widely expected development underlines the party’s preference for continuity as it gears up for the all-important Lok Sabha polls next year, expected in April-May.
With Nadda set to lead the party during the Lok Sabha elections, he will be following the footsteps of his predecessor Shah, whose tenure was also extended so as to allow him to spearhead the organisation during the 2019 polls.
