The Congress Working Committee will hold a meeting on August 10, with finding Rahul Gandhi's successor likely to top the agenda when the party's top brass meets at the AICC headquarters.

The party had said last week that the Congress Working Committee will meet after the current session of Parliament that ends next Wednesday.

"It has been decided to hold the next Congress Working Committee Meeting on Saturday, 10th of August, 11 AM at AICC," Congress general secretary organisation K C Venugopal tweeted.

The meeting would be the first since Rahul Gandhi had announced his intention to step down from the party chief's post days after the Lok Sabha election results were announced in May.

Rahul Gandhi has been insistent on his decision to step down from the post and despite party leaders' repeated refusal, asked them to look for a replacement. He has also made it clear that the replacement cannot be his mother or sister.
