During a press conference, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge disclosed that the party has confirmed observers for all 500-plus constituencies, strategically positioned to gain insight into each Parliamentary Constituency’s dynamics. Kharge explained that while the exact number of seats the Congress would contest remains undecided, their efforts aim to have representation across the board. This move is to ensure adaptability in negotiations with alliance partners, allowing flexibility to pivot from one seat to another as per consensus within the ‘INDIA Alliance’.

Kharge promptly approved the proposal for the appointment of constituency-wise coordinators for the impending General Elections. Simultaneously, the party initiated formal discussions on seat-sharing with the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab and Delhi, marking the onset of negotiations with various parties.

The Congress’ five-member committee on seat-sharing, led by convener Mukul Wasnik and including senior figures Ashok Gehlot and Bhupesh Baghel, conducted internal consultations with state Congress chiefs. The committee has presented its findings to party chief Kharge.
