Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will contest the upcoming by-election for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, a move that comes after her brother, Rahul Gandhi, vacated the seat to retain his Raebareli constituency. The Congress party has also announced candidates for Kerala’s Assembly bypolls, fielding Rahul Mamkootathil for Palakkad and Ramya Haridas for Chelakkara.
