Priyanka Gandhi Wayanad News | Why Did Rahul Gandhi Retain Rae Bareli Over Wayanad? | N18V

The suspense over Wayanad or Rae Bareli has finally ended, as Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is set to take the electoral plunge from Kerala. It was decided that Rahul Gandhi would keep the family bastion of Rae Bareli, while his sister, Priyanka, would run for the seat in Wayanad – a seat that elected Rahul Gandhi in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Explaining why Rahul Gandhi chose Rae Bareli over Wayanad, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said the decision was emotional because the Gandhi family has been fighting from this seat for generations. “Rahul Gandhi will retain his Raebareli seat because Raebareli has been close to him from before, that (area) has great attachment to the family, they have been fighting (in elections) from there for generations," he said. Congress has won Rae Bareli 17 of 20 times the elections were held and Rahul Gandhi's mother Sonia has held the seat since 2004. She is now a member of Rajya Sabha. Rahul Gandhi won Rae Bareli by a margin of nearly 4 lakh votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
