Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday named Rajya Sabha member Ramchandra Prasad Singh as the national president of the Janata Dal (United).
The decision was taken at the party’s national executive meeting, where Kumar proposed Singh’s name, which was then approved by other members of the JD(U).
Singh, a former Indian Administrative Service officer of the Uttar Pradesh cadre, is known to be a close confidante of Kumar, and had served as the principal secretary during Kumar’s earlier stint as chief minister, according to The Indian Express. In 2010, Singh took voluntary retirement to get nominated to the Rajya Sabha from the party. He was re-nominated to the Upper House in 2016 and has been serving as JD(U)’s general secretary (Organisation).
