The Gujarat Congress is struggling to reorganise its state unit as the appointment of district presidents remains stalled, posing a challenge ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
The Gujarat unit of the Congress party is finding it difficult to put its organisational house in order, with the process of appointing district presidents reportedly stalled. The delay comes at a time when the party is looking to rebuild its base in the state ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
According to reports, the leadership has not been able to finalise names for several district units, leaving the cadre uncertain about the party's direction. The lack of clarity at the district level is seen as a setback for the Congress, which has been trying to regain ground in Gujarat after successive electoral setbacks.
With 2027 still some time away, party insiders view the current impasse as a test of the state leadership's ability to reconcile internal differences and present a united front. The stalled appointments underline the broader challenge the Congress faces in strengthening its grassroots structure in the state.
