According to the information, the Congress party has completed the internal election process by August 20. The party had announced that the election for the post of president would be held between August 21 and September 20. But despite many efforts, Rahul Gandhi has not yet clarified his stand.

According to sources, the Central Election Authority has made full preparations to complete the election process on time. The chairman of the authority is awaiting the meeting of the Congress Working Committee. After which the dates for the election for the post of President will be announced. Sources said that the process seems to be stuck, as Rahul Gandhi is not yet ready to contest for the post of Congress President, though all efforts are on to persuade him.

Rahul Gandhi

did not agree to the post of President

Rahul is adamant about giving the post of President to a non-Gandhi and that is why he is stopping sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from filing a nomination. At the same time, Sonia Gandhi does not want to stay on this post due to health reasons and Rahul wants that a non-Gandhi post should be given in place of Sonia. However, Congress tried to persuade Rahul, and Priyanka was told to be presented as another option. Sources said that if Rahul does not agree, then Sonia Gandhi can be persuaded to remain the president till 2024 for the unity of the party.

Other names can also be discussed

According to sources, the party's troubles may increase if Sonia Gandhi also does not continue as the president. Due to this, there may be an attempt to agree on the names of leaders like Ashok Gehlot, Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal, Kumari Selja, and Mukul Wasnik. The next few days are going to be very important for the Gandhi family, keeping in mind the deadline for the Congress Presidential election, which technically started on Sunday itself.
