After the seven-hour marathon CWC meeting Sonia Gandhi was unanimously elected as the interim Party President. The Congress leadership on Monday squashed the first whiff of dissent against the Gandhi family with the Congress Working Committee (CWC) rallying around Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to reject the demand for change put forward by a group of 23 senior Congress leaders. The CWC resolution gave no deadline about when Sonia Gandhi would step down as interim president, saying she has been empowered to take all organisational decisions and that an AICC session will be held whenever circumstances permit.
