Rahul Gandhi had won both the Rae Bareli and Wayanad seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He later relinquished the Kerala constituency. He declared that his younger sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would contest the bypolls from the Congress.

Rahul Gandhi later became the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.

"Priyanka has always been someone who would sacrifice anything for her family and friends, and this quality will make her an exceptional MP for Wayanad. To her, the people of Wayanad are family. As her brother, I ask you to support and protect her as you have done for me. I will always stand by Wayanad as your unofficial MP," Rahul Gandhi posted on X today.

This is the first election that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will contest. She had entered active politics ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
