Wayanad Lok Sabha Bypolls Voting Live Updates: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra takes on a significant electoral test today as she campaigns in Kerala’s Wayanad constituency for her first bypoll. Her goal? To not only retain the seat once held by her brother, Rahul Gandhi, but to expand his winning margin from previous elections. Polling kicked off at 7 AM across over 1,000 booths in Wayanad and results are set for November 23.
Stay tuned for real-time updates on the voting process, key moments from Priyanka’s month-long campaign and insights into how the people of Wayanad respond to her appeal to uphold the Gandhi legacy in this crucial contest.
Opposition candidates, LDF’s Sathyan Mokeri and NDA’s Navya Haridas, have raised concerns about Priyanka’s limited electoral experience, suggesting it might affect her ability to effectively serve the constituency. Mokeri, who ran in the Wayanad constituency in 2014, narrowed the Congress’s winning margin at the time. Both the LDF and NDA campaigns have emphasized that Rahul’s visits to Wayanad were infrequent after his initial win in 2019. They suggest Priyanka may follow a similar pattern, arguing that Rahul’s previous victories were bolstered by expectations that he might become the next prime minister—a factor they believe is absent this time around.
