    The Congress party's Central Election Authority chairman responded to Lok Sabha members' demands for transparency in the party's presidential election process. The CEA said the list of over 9,000 delegates will be available at the All India Congress Committee office from September 20th. Candidates can view the list there and choose their 10 supporters from different states to sign their nomination papers. This responds to concerns from MPs including Tharoor and Tewari who had pushed for the electoral rolls to be made public or available to potential candidates in another way to ensure a free and fair election process.
