Reviewing the preparedness for the upcoming polls to elect a new Congress president, the central election authority (CEA) of the party on Wednesday asked all returning officers to ensure that new Pradesh Congress Committees (PCC) or State unit chiefs and AICC members are elected before September 20 and all PCC delegates are given identity cards with QR codes.
This message was conveyed by the chairman of the CEA, Madhusudan Mistry, to all the Pradesh Returning Officers (PROs) at a meeting in the party headquarters.
Sources said that given the tight poll schedule, PCCs will follow the long-held convention and will pass a resolution to authorise the Congress president to nominate/elect the State unit heads.
