Janata Dal (United) will elect its new President today. The party will hold its National Council meeting in New Delhi to decide on the new Chief. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is likely to take the post as 68-year old Sharad Yadav has decided not to seek a fourth consecutive term. Party General Secretary KC Tyagi said in Patna that Mr Kumar is the natural choice of all party workers.<br/><br/>Mr Yadav, who is one of the founder leaders of the party along with Mr Kumar, has been at the helm since 2006. He was re-elected for a third term in 2013 by amending the party's constitution which then allowed a maximum of two tenures.<br/><br/>Elections in several states had delayed the organisational polls of the party and it recently conveyed to the Election Commission that it will complete the process by June 30.
