**New Delhi, [Date]** – Priyanka Gandhi Vadra secured a resounding victory in the Wayanad Lok Sabha by-election in Kerala, defeating CPI(M)’s Sathyan Mokeri by over 410,000 votes. This marks her first electoral win. While her vote count (622,338) was lower than her brother Rahul Gandhi’s in the April general election, her margin of victory significantly surpassed his. BJP’s Nivedya Haridas came in third. Gandhi expressed gratitude to the people of Wayanad and vowed to represent their hopes and aspirations in Parliament.
Meanwhile, Jharkhand’s assembly election results revealed a significant shift. Of the 27 candidates who switched parties, eight won their seats. In the Barhait constituency, Hemant Soren of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) secured victory. In contrast, Bihar by-elections saw a clean sweep for the NDA, leaving the Mahagathbandhan without a single win.
