Washington: Seema Nanda has announced her decision to step down as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee, the top administrative position in the main Opposition party, ahead of the presidential elections in November.
Nanda, 48, became the first Indian-American to be appointed as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in June, 2018. She, however, did not give reasons for leaving the top position in the party.
The Washington Post reported that Nanda’s sudden exit from the DNC was part of the effort of the former US Vice President Joe Biden who is the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.
She would be replaced by Mary Beth Cahill, who had previously managed John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.
“After two years, I will be stepping down as CEO of the DNC. I couldn’t be prouder of the infrastructure we have built, the primary process we have run, and the team we have built,” Nanda announced in a tweet on Friday.
“I look forward to continuing the fight for our democracy and to elect Democrats everywhere,” she said.
Nanda, whose parents are dentists, grew up in Connecticut. She went to the Brown University and Boston College Law School.
She also has a background in labour and employment law, and has worked in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.
