The 40 Congress MLAs in the state on Friday evening passed the party's traditional one-line resolution, authorising the "high command" to take a decision.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who party leaders credited for the Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls win, will take the final call on who will be the Chief Minister of the state, sources have said. This comes after a day of high drama in the hill state, with rival factions jostling for the top post.

Priyanka Gandhi led the party's campaign in Himachal Pradesh, along with new national president Mallikarjun Kharge, with several rallies, and was also closely involved in strategy planning for the polls. Many leaders hailed her leadership in securing the win for the party and defeating the BJP's election machinery.
This is Priyanka Gandhi's first electoral success while heading the campaign charge. The party had lost Uttar Pradesh assembly polls while she spearheaded the canvassing there earlier this year.
