KPCC Youth chief elections to be held soon

Bengaluru: Nine months after the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) youth wing president’s post fell vacant, the election for the seat is expected to be held before the second week of January.

The post fell vacant in March 2020, when Basana Gouda Badarli’s term ended and the KPCC is likely to hold online elections for the president and other office-bearers.

Reportedly, at present, there are 6.5 lakh voters who are eligible to elect the KPCC Youth president in Karnataka.

There are many aspirants to the post, including three-time Youth Congress district president of Dakshina Kannada Mithun Rai, National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) president in Karnataka HS Manjunath, MLA NA Haris’s son Nalapad, former minister MR Seetharam’s son Raksha Ramaiah and others.

It is gathered that all the aspirants have been called to New Delhi on December 28 for an interview, where they will face a panel that includes Indian Youth Congress President BV Sreenivas.
