Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal will announce on Friday the name of the party’s chief ministerial candidate for the next month’s Gujarat Assembly elections, party office-bearers said.
This candidate will be named on the basis of opinion submitted to the party by the people of the state, they said.
Those in the race for the top post from the AAP include its state unit president Gopal Italia, national general secretary Isudan Gadhvi and general secretary Manoj Soratihya, party sources said.
Kejriwal is scheduled to hold a press conference in Ahmedabad on Friday to announce the name, the party said in a statement on Thursday.
