The Congress Central leadership is likely to take a decision on allotting the ticket for the October 30 South Goa Lok Sabha by-poll in a day or two. "I have briefed the party president on the overall issue. The decision will come either today evening or tomorrow," Kamat said here today. "There is a prescribed system followed to finalise the ticket. Either the Congress Parliamentary Board or some central body will meet and discuss the issue before announcing the name," he said. Save Goa Front president Churchill Alemao, who also met the Congress president after the CM's appointment, expressed confidence that the Congress leaders would honour their commitment. "My support to the Kamat-led government was on condition that my daughter Valenka should be given Congress ticket for Lok Sabha by-poll...I feel that Congress will honour its commitment," Alemao, whose party is a part of the coalition government, said. He claimed that Valenka's name would be declared by the Congress tomorrow. "Valenka fits to be a Lok Sabha member as she is a practising Supreme Court advocate and is regularly attending all debates in the Parliament. I am pressing for her name only because she has interest in serving the people," he said.
