Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to contest from Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi retains Rae Bareli

The Hindu  

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will make her electoral debut from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala in a bypoll, after her brother and former Congress chief, Rahul Gandhi, decided to retain the Rae Bareli seat in Uttar Pradesh. The Gandhi family has been contesting from the seat for generations now, and the people of Rae Bareli, as well as our party workers, think that is good for the party,” Mr. Kharge said. Since the first General Election, the Congress has won Rae Bareli 18 times now, and the seat was first represented by the late Feroze Gandhi, Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s grandfather. Besides the family legacy, the party’s calculation is that by retaining the Rae Bareli seat, Mr. Rahul Gandhi will further cement Congress’ alliance with the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party for the 2027 Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh.
