Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to Contest Wayanad Bypoll, Marking Electoral Debut

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra enters the electoral fray in Kerala after Rahul Gandhi vacates Wayanad seat for Rae Bareli.

The Congress has announced Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as its candidate for the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll scheduled for November 13.
Rahul Gandhi vacated the Wayanad seat after winning both Wayanad and Rae Bareli in the 2024 general elections, choosing to retain the latter.
The Wayanad bypoll forms part of a larger electoral event involving two parliamentary and 48 assembly constituencies across India.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who has been active in politics since 1999, will make her electoral debut, having previously managed campaigns for her family.
The ruling Left Democratic Front and the Bharatiya Janata Party have yet to announce their candidates for the Wayanad bypoll.
