Panaji, Jan 11 (IANS): Goa should see a new state BJP President by Sunday, the state unit's returning officer for organisational elections, Govind Parvatkar, said on Friday.

Even as former MLAs and current general secretaries Damodar Naik and Sadanand Shet Tanavade are tipped as possible successors to outgoing President Vinay Tendulkar, Parvatkar said that as per indications, the election of the next president will be unopposed.

"As per my observation, I do not think there will be an election. It will be unopposed," Parvatkar told a press conference on Friday.

The returning officer also said that nominations for the post of President would be accepted at the BJP office on Saturday afternoon.

"The name of the new President will be finalised and released at a meeting of party workers on Sunday morning," Parvatkar said.
