The 59 legislators of the party met here Wednesday in the presence of Defence Minister A.K. Antony and the party’s Gujarat observer B.K. Hari Prasad to elect their leader. The meeting authorised Sonia Gandhi to choose the leader.

Arjun Modhvadia, who was Leader of Opposition in the last assembly, is the front-runner for the post, while the names of former party whip Shaktisinh Gohil and Siddharth Patel are also doing rounds.

The Congress lost the assembly elections to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in December.
