The Election Commission of India on Tuesday (October 15) announced the date for the parliamentary by-poll in Wayanad and said that the Lok Sabha constituency will vote on November 13 and the results will be announced on November 23.
The by-election was necessitated after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who won from the seat also emerged victorious from the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat in the parliamentary polls on June 4 this year, and later decided to give up Wayand.
The Congress has decided to field party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi from the seat, thus marking her electoral debut.
