After the meeting of this committee, the panel of names of the candidates will be sent to the Central Screening Committee for final approval.

    Shimla Urban seat complicates the party 
    Selecting the Congress candidate from Shimla Urban seat is not going to be easy for the party. There have been more than 40 applications in the city. Among those who applied for this seat, there are more supporters of former Chief Minister Late Virbhadra Singh and President of Election Campaign Committee Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu. Congress has to face defeat in Shimla city for three consecutive assembly elections.
