Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is poised to enter the electoral fray by filing her nomination in Wayanad for the upcoming Lok Sabha bypoll. Her debut is set for Wednesday, amid a backdrop of robust support from senior Congress figures including her mother, Sonia Gandhi, and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge.
Priyanka's arrival in the hill district on Tuesday night marked the beginning of her campaign, accompanied by high-profile allies such as Rahul Gandhi. The occasion will be marked by a roadshow in Kalpetta and a public address before Priyanka officially submits her candidacy to the District Collector.
This election was prompted by Rahul Gandhi's decision to vacate the Wayanad seat, paving the way for Priyanka to contest against LDF's Sathyan Mokeri and BJP's Navya Haridas in a hotly anticipated political battle.
