THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Congress organisational election is headed for a major trough with the party high command making it clear that it will nominate all the 35 members to the All India Congress Committee from the State, along with the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president. Though the party leadership is convening a meeting of the 280 new KPCC members on June 18, ostensibly to elect a new KPCC president, it has been asked to push through a one-line resolution authorising Congress president Sonia Gandhi to nominate the president. The meeting will be held at the Co-bank Towers at 10 a.m. Pradesh Election Authority Chairman M. Krishnaswamy will arrive here on June 17 to oversee the meeting. The AICC, it seems, wants to avert an election to the president's post, besides inducting a few persons who would not normally figure in the organisational elections to the AICC. A meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) is being convened on June 18 to elect 15 members to the KPCC executive. CLP secretary K.C. Joseph on Wednesday issued notice to all members to be present for the vote. Ms. Gandhi is expected to return from Moscow on June 17. Party leaders, including Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, are expected to brief her about the need to allow the Kerala unit to select its own candidate rather than imposing someone from Delhi. The AICC has been insisting on a consensus. The party, after some great difficulty, has gone through the process of recasting its lower party apparatus through the consensus process.
