The 2022 Indian National Congress presidential election was an internal party election that was held to elect the next president of the Indian National Congress. The election was held on 17 October 2022 and counting of votes took place on 19 October 2022.[4] Mallikarjun Kharge won the election amassing 7,897 votes compared to 1,072 of Shashi Tharoor.
The election was triggered by resignation of Rahul Gandhi as party leader on 10 August 2019. However, the party's presidium, the All India Congress Committee, elected former president Sonia Gandhi as interim president. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the election for the next president was postponed until 2022.[5] The election was administered by the party's Central Election Authority headed by Madhusudan Mistry.[6][7]
