Kalpetta: Congress leader Sonia Gandhi will arrive in Kerala to campaign for Priyanka Gandhi in Wayanad. On Tuesday, both Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi will join UDF candidate Priyanka Gandhi in Wayanad for the election campaign. Sonia is coming to support Priyanka in her maiden contest. She will also participate in the submission of Priyanka Gandhi’s nomination papers. All three will take part in Priyanka Gandhi’s roadshow in Kalpetta. This marks Sonia Gandhi’s return to Kerala after several years. Reports suggest that UDF candidate Priyanka Gandhi will be in Wayanad for ten consecutive days. The need for a by-election in Wayanad arose following Rahul Gandhi’s resignation.
Nomination Papers to be Submitted on the 23rd
Priyanka Gandhi will submit her nomination papers on Wednesday. After the roadshow, Priyanka will go to the collectorate to file her nomination, as confirmed by A.P. Anilkumar MLA, the convenor of the UDF Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency election committee.
The KPCC has appointed MPs M.K. Raghavan, Anto Antony, Rajmohan Unnithan, Hibi Eden, Dean Kuriakose, and MLAs Sunny Joseph and C.R. Mahesh as in-charge of the seven assembly constituencies that comprise the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency.
