All India Congress Committee President Mallikarjun Kharge said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will retain the Raebareli Lok Sabha seat and vacate Wayanad seat for Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Rahul Gandhi, who won from both Raebareli and Wayanad, must vacate one of the seats within 14 days of the election result. “Party has decided that Rahul Gandhi should retain the Raebareli seat since it is close to the family,” Kharge stated after discussions with senior party leaders at his residence.
Kharge also announced that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will contest from Wayanad, expressing gratitude to the brother-sister duo for accepting the party’s decision.
