New BJP chief to be elected in November

A three-day Bharatiya Janata Party plenary session will be held at Kanpur from November 17 to 19.

Before the plenary session, the party will have a two-day national executive meeting on November 15 and 16, party general secretary Govindacharya told the media.

The plenary will, among things, elect a successor to BJP president L K Advani who will complete his second two-year term in office -- the maximum allowed in the BJP constitution. Organisational elections are in progress and will be completed by October 31.
