The CWC may also form a panel of senior members to look for the new chief.
"On Saturday, a consensus builder party President of Congress must be selected. Slightest delay is not an option," Mr Singhvi said on Twitter.
"In lighter vein, I gave analogy of wise men of Vatican locked in a room indefinitely until they got a nomination! Subsequently, it has to be followed by full intra party elections," he added.
A number of partymen have expressed their opinion in public, saying the delay in selecting the new Congress chief is harming the party.
Some Congressmen also made a call for Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to take over from her brother Rahul Gandhi, who quit as party chief post post the Lok Sabha poll debacle on May 25.
