In a significant reshuffle, Nitish Kumar (president of the Janata Dal (United) party) has approved a new list of national office bearers, which includes a vice president and 11 general secretaries. Notably absent from this list is his son, Nishant Kumar, who had recently joined the party and was expected to take on a key organizational role after opting out of the Samrat Choudhary government. Sanjay Kumar Jha, a close aide of Kumar and a fellow Rajya Sabha MP, continues as the national working president. Chandreshwar Prasad Chandravanshi, a leader from the extremely backward class (EBC), has been appointed as vice president. Alok Kumar Suman retains his role as treasurer. Among the general secretaries are former IAS officer Manish Kumar Verma and Ashok Choudhary, a former minister. This leadership change comes after Kumar's resignation as Bihar's chief minister last week, following his election to Parliament, and aims to reassure party legislators of JD(U)'s continued political influence.
