Wayanad: Congress stalwart Sonia Gandhi is gearing up to spearhead her daughter Priyanka Gandhi’s electoral debut in the upcoming Wayanad by-election. The bypoll was triggered when sitting MP Rahul Gandhi vacated the Wayanad seat to retain his Raebareli constituency in Uttar Pradesh.
Sonia Gandhi, accompanied by Rahul, will join Priyanka in Wayanad for her nomination filing and a major roadshow in Kalpetta, marking her return to Kerala’s political scene after several years.
Priyanka’s candidacy has sparked an intense political battle in Wayanad, with CPI’s Satyan Mokeri as her main rival and the BJP fielding Navya Haridas. The involvement of Sonia Gandhi underlines the critical nature of the by-election, raising the stakes for all parties involved.
