Rahul Gandhi, having won Wayanad and Raibareli seats during LS polls in 2024, chose to go for the latter seat – a stronghold of the Congress party, necessitating a by-poll on the Wayanad seat.
Rahul Gandhi later nominated his sister Priyanka to fight from the Wayanad seat – paving the way for her poll debut.
Notably, the Gandhi siblings – Priyanka and Rahul – are now set to represent their respective constituencies in the Lok Sabha.
