The Congress will soon start the procedure to elect a new party chief, party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said on Friday, 18 December, adding that “99.9 percent of people, including me, want Rahul Gandhi to be elected as the party president.”
Addressing a press conference, Surjewala was quoted as saying, “An electoral college of Congress, AICC members, Congress workers and members will choose who’s best suited (for party president).”
His remarks come a day before interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi is expected to begin her interactions with senior party leaders to finalise the future course of action ahead of the much-awaited organisational elections, including the appointment of the new party president, news agency PTI reported.
