Senior Congress leader Kuldeep Singh Rathore is likely to be the party's new Himachal Pradesh president, replacing Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu.
Rathore is a member of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) and former general secretary and chief spokesman of the Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee.
The removal of Sukhu came ahead of the parliamentary election as the faction led by former chief minister Virbhadra Singh was at loggerheads with him and wanted his removal.
