Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was on Sunday Oct 16,2016 formally appointed JD-U
president, pushing him for a bigger role in national politics, though
the party desisted from declaring him its prime ministerial candidate
for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Nitish's appointment as JD-U chief was ratified at the party's national council meeting in Nalanda district of Bihar.
He was the sole candidate for the post after nominations were invited last month in Delhi and was declared "elected unopposed".
National council members from 23 states unanimously supported the resolution moved by Rajya Sabha member Haribansh to appoint the Bihar Chief Minister as JD-U chief.
Nitish had taken the rein from Sharad Yadav in April.
