THE Congress has retained the two Lok Sabha seats for which byelections were held recently. AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has won Wayanad in Kerala by a landslide margin while the party’s Ravindra Vasantrao Chavan has won Nanded in Maharashtra by a thin margin of 1,457 votes.
In Wayanad, Ms. Vadra defeated CPI’s Satyan Mokeri by a margin of 4,10,931 votes, which is higher than the margin of 3,64,422 votes by which her brother Rahul Gandhi won the seat in the 2024 general elections. In 2019, Mr. Gandhi’s winning margin was 4,31,770 votes. Ms. Vadra got about 65% of the votes polled and Mr. Mokeri got 22.08%. BJP’s Navya Haridas got more than 11% of the votes. The byelection to Wayanad was required after Mr. Gandhi decided to vacate it to retain Raebareli seat, which too he won in the 2024 general elections.
