Following the Udaipur Resolution of One Leader One Post, Kharge sent his resignation to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi.

P Chidambaram and Digvijay Singh are in the race to succeed Kharge as the LoP.

On Friday, Mallikarjun Kharge, Shashi Tharoor and KN Tripathi filed their nominations for the Congress presidential polls.

 


However, G-23 leaders Prithiviraj Chavan, Manish Tewari and Bhupinder Hooda have said they will back Mallikarjun Kharge’s candidacy for the party’s president post.

Meanwhile, Digvijaya Singh, who was earlier in race for the Congress top post, announced that he will not contest the party president’s election and would instead propose the candidature of his senior Mallikarjun Kharge.
