Sonia Gandhi to remain Congress president as party workers wait for Rahul's return.

The CWC met on Sunday to discuss Congress's poor outing in the recently concluded assembly elections in five states. Addressing the media after the meeting, Congress spokesperson KC Venugopal said the CWC has expressed faith in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi.

Venugopal said the party will organise a "chintan shivir" after the Parliament session and the CWC will meet again before it to take up some "organisational changes".

Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the party will fully prepare to face electoral challenges in the upcoming state assembly polls and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Surjewala also acknowledged that "every party worker wants Rahul Gandhi to lead the party". However, the new party president will be chosen at the next Congress election, he stated.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that Sonia Gandhi will lead them and will take future steps. "We all have faith in her leadership," ANI quoted him as saying.

According to sources, Sonia Gandhi said in the CWC meeting that some people feel that the party is weakening because of the Gandhi family. "If you guys think so, then we are ready to make any kind of sacrifice," Sonia Gandhi reportedly said.
