Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge proposed her name, followed by endorsements from party leaders Gaurav Gogoi, Tariq Anwar, and K Sudhakaran.
The meeting was attended by several other prominent party figures, including Rahul Gandhi, KC Venugopal, Shashi Tharoor, Ajay Maken, Karti Chidambaram, and Punjab’s former CM Charanjit Singh Channi, among others.
Speaking about Sonia Gandhi’s re-election, Kharge said, “It is good she (Sonia Gandhi) has been re-elected as CPP and she will keep guiding us.” He added that she sacrificed her happiness to serve the party.
