NEW DELHI: Will Congress finally have a non-Gandhi president? If that happens, it will be a first since 2000. Come October 19 and we will have a definitive answer as the party has set the ball rolling for electing the successor to the longest-serving chief Sonia Gandhi.
In the notification issued on Thursday, chairman of the central election authority Madhusudan Mistry, under the power vested in him by provision of Article XVIII of the constitution of the Indian National Congress, announced the election of the president of the party to be held as per the given schedule.
