Former AAP leader Pratima Coutinho rejoined the Congress in the presence of AICC Goa in-charge Manikrao Thakare, GPCC President Girish Chodankar, LoP Yuri Alemao, GPCC Working President M K Shaikh, and MLAs Altone D’Costa and Carlos Alvares Ferreira on Thursday.
Coutinho had quit the Congress in 2022 to join the AAP and contested the Assembly election from Navelim.
Coutinho’s return comes as the Congress has been attempting to strengthen its organisation ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections by bringing back former leaders and expanding its base across the State.
