Other than the three Gandhi’s , – Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka, no other names were discussed by the CWC. A resolution appointing Sonia as interim President did not provide a time limit on which elections would be held to elect the next President. After Rahul Gandhi relinquished his post, there was a demand to have a transparent election with a wider electorate and three time MP Shashi Tharoor supported the demand.
