Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is contesting in the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll, aiming to expand the victory margin previously achieved by her brother, Rahul Gandhi. Facing opponents from LDF and NDA, Priyanka emphasizes her commitment to continue serving Wayanad if elected.

In a significant electoral debut, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is contesting the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll, aiming to sustain and expand the victory margin achieved by her brother, Rahul Gandhi. Wayanad has been a stronghold for the Congress, and Priyanka's entry marks a crucial test for the party amid extensive campaigns by rival factions.

Throughout the campaign, Priyanka has leaned on the legacy and popularity of her brother, emphasizing his tenure and connect with Wayanad's citizens. Rahul, now the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has been actively supporting her campaigns, urging locals to lend Priyanka the same support he received in previous elections.

Her main contenders, Sathyan Mokeri from the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and Navya Haridas of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), question her electoral inexperience. Simultaneously, they argue against Rahul's alleged neglect post-elections to sway public opinion. Regardless, Priyanka assures her dedication to serve Wayanad, promising regular visits and advocacy for the constituency's concerns.
