Strong rumours did the rounds in Saxttidom over the last three days that heavyweight Congress leader Alexio Sequeira has backed out of the race for the party ticket. The former Power Minister, however, has set all speculations at rest by telling his close aides that he is not only very much in the race but will lead the Congress campaign in Nuvem. Sources say a strong move is underway to rope in a non-Congress leader into the party and nominate him as a candidate.
