The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday announced the date for the bypoll on the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat. The polling will held on November 13.
The seat was vacated after Rahul Gandhi , leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha, chose to retain the Rae Bareli seat in Uttar Pradesh following his victory in both constituencies in this year's parliamentary elections.
The Congress party has decided to field AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi from Wayanad Lok Sabha seat on her poll debut, which reflects the party's strategic importance the Gandhi family attaches to the constituency as a long-term bastion in south India, which provided the party 42 seats in the recent polls.
The poll body also also announced by-elections to 47 assembly constituencies.
