Party chief secretary Priyanka Gandhi, who led the Congress to a decisive victory in the Wayanad bypolls, took to X to thank the people of Wayanad for their overwhelming support.
“My dearest sisters and brothers of Wayanad, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the trust you have placed in me. I will make sure that, over time, you truly feel this victory has been your victory and that the person you chose to represent you understands your hopes and dreams and fights for you as one of your own. I look forward to being your voice in Parliament!,” Priyanka wrote on X.
Expressing her gratitude for UDF colleagues, volunteers, and workers, Gandhi said, “My colleagues in the UDF, leaders from across Kerala, workers, volunteers, and my office colleagues who worked incredibly hard in this campaign—thank you for your support, for tolerating my 12-hour-a-day (no food, no rest) car journeys, and for fighting like true soldiers for the ideals we all believe in.”
She also thanked her family for their support, “To my mother, Robert, and my two jewels—Raihan and Miraya—no gratitude is ever enough for the love and courage you give me. And to my brother, Rahul, you are the bravest of them all… thank you for showing me the way and having my back, always!”
Priyanka Gandhi secured over 6,17,942 votes in the Lok Sabha bypoll for Wayanad, defeating her nearest rival, Sathyan Mokeri, by 2,09,906 votes. BJP’s Navya Haridas secured 1,09,202 votes.
She surpassed her brother and former Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi, who vacated the Wayanad seat earlier this year, with a victory margin of over 3.6 lakh votes, as she secured 5,64,515 votes in the Lok Sabha bypoll.
