Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday filed her nomination for the Wayanad Lok Sabha byelection. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were also present on the occasion. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi are expected to lead a roadshow from Kalpetta New Bus Stand.
With the Election Commission (EC) announcing the bypoll to the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat last week, the stage was set for Priyanka Gandhi's electoral debut from the Kerala constituency that could see her enter Parliament five years after joining active politics. Soon after the EC announced the Wayanad bypoll, the Congress declared that Priyanka Gandhi (52) would be its candidate from the seat in Kerala.
With the Congress fielding the AICC general secretary from Wayanad, party workers had put up posters in the constituency which had "Wayanadinte Priyankari (Wayanad's beloved)" written on it.
