Cong president poll: State, UT units yet to hold organisational elections

New Delhi, 16/9: Andaman and Nicobar Islands is the only unit that conducted organisational elections in the Congress this time.

The other states and territorial units are scrambling to complete the process by passing resolutions authorising the party president to choose state chiefs and AICC delegates by September 20, two days before the notification for the presidential election is to be issued.

 

Party’s Central Election Committee chairperson Madhusudhan Mistry held a meeting with Pradesh (state) Returning Officers on Wednesday to review the preparations for the presidential polls, for which the nomination process would start on September 24 and end on September 30.
