An estimated 310 Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) general body members will meet on Thursday to set in motion an organisational process that will select the new State office-bearers, notably the party's next State president.
If there are no surprise upsets, the meeting will, in all probability, endorse the incumbent K. Sudhakaran as KPCC president. The KPCC has asked the members to report at the party's State headquarters at Indira Bhavan. The make-up of the electoral college is yet to emerge in the public domain.
By some accounts, the KPCC will send its endorsements to the All India Congress Committee (AICC) and entrust Congress president Sonia Gandhi to take a final call. Balloting and an immediate formal announcement of the office-bearers are doubtful.
