Uttar Pradesh Congress leadership reorganization

Overview

The Congress party has undergone an organizational overhaul in Uttar Pradesh in preparation for the 2027 Assembly elections. Aradhana Misra ‘Mona’, a three-term MLA, was appointed as the new President of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC), succeeding Ajay Rai.

The new leadership structure includes Saharanpur MP Imran Masood as Working President, alongside appointments for Senior Vice Presidents Devinder Nishad and Alok Prasad, intended to balance various social demographics.

Following her appointment, Misra Mona stated that her primary objective is to strengthen the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) to form a coalition government. She addressed potential friction with the Samajwadi Party (SP) regarding seat sharing, asserting that leadership from both parties would clarify the situation soon to ensure the alliance contests the elections as a united front.
