BJP National Returning Officer K. Laxman said all 37 sets of nomination papers were filed in favour of Nabin and were found valid after scrutiny. His candidature was proposed by outgoing BJP president J. P. Nadda, along with senior leaders including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari.

Organisationally, Nabin has risen through the ranks of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, serving at both state and national levels. He has also overseen organisational responsibilities in states such as Chhattisgarh and Sikkim, and is widely credited with strengthening campaign strategy and organisational cohesion in Chhattisgarh, which helped the BJP return to power in the state in 2023 after a gap.

According to the media reports, Narendra Modi is expected to be present when Nabin formally assumes charge on Tuesday. A meeting of the BJP's National Council is also likely to be convened shortly to ratify his election.
