New Delhi: The Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet on 10 August, with finding Rahul Gandhi’s successor likely to top the agenda when the party’s top brass meets at the AICC headquarters.
The party had said last week that the CWC will meet after the current session of Parliament that ends next Wednesday.
“It has been decided to hold the next Congress Working Committee Meeting on Saturday, 10th of August, 11 AM at AICC,” Congress general secretary organisation K C Venugopal tweeted.
Gandhi resigned as party president after taking full moral responsibility of the Lok Sabha poll debacle at a CWC meeting on 28 May.

However, the CWC rejected his resignation and authorised him to restructure the party at all levels. Gandhi made it clear he will not continue as president and neither will any member of the Gandhi family be the next president.
A host of leaders holding party positions, a majority of them in the middle-level, have since resigned to enable restructuring of the party.
Top Congress leaders have been pondering over who could succeed Gandhi and several rounds of meetings have taken place, but a decision on his successor has not been taken yet.
