**KOCHI, INDIA** – Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, prominent Congress leader, has secured a resounding victory in the Wayanad Lok Sabha by-election in Kerala, winning by over 200,000 votes. This marks her first contest in a general election. She faced BJP candidate Navya Haridas and CPI candidate Satya Mokerier.
Gandhi’s victory follows the resignation of her brother, Rahul Gandhi, who won the seat in 2019 and 2024 with significant margins (4.3 lakh and 3.6 lakh votes respectively). Rahul Gandhi chose to retain his constituency in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. Polling for the by-election took place on November 13th. The substantial margin of victory for Priyanka Gandhi reflects continued strong support for the Congress party in the region.
