The source said: “It is true the governors were not in attendance, but we met and review the congress reports of the majority of the states, but had to adjourn till tomorrow to consider states with parallel congresses.”

When asked if the inauguration will still hold as planned, the source said: “We are working towards that. We are going to look into states with parallel congresses and resolve all the difference. The inauguration of the SECs is still possible tomorrow (today).”
