priyanka gandhi vadra wayanad
On Thursday, Congress Leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra takes oath as Lok Sabha MP from Wayanad, Kerala.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was accompanied by her mother, Sonia Gandhi, while her brother Rahul Gandhi and husband Robert Vadra were also present in Parliament for her oath-taking ceremony.
Priyanka Gandhi clinched the Wayanad seat with a commanding margin of 4,10,931 votes, in a triangular contest against BJP’s Navya Haridas and CPI’s Sathyan Mokeri.

This victory marks Priyanka Gandhi’s electoral debut, as she now joins her brother in the Lok Sabha. Priyanka Gandhi wore Indira Gandhi’s saree and took oath in Hindi while holding a copy of the Constitution.
Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition, also retained Rae Bareli with 647,000 votes, securing a win by a margin of 364,000 votes.
