BJP fields Navya Haridas against Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday announced the date for the by-election. As per the poll body's announcement, the voting will held on November 13 and the result will be declared on November 23.

The Wayanad seat was vacated after Congress leader and now Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi was elected from Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli and chose to retain that seat following his victory in both constituencies.

After Rahul Gandhi vacated the seat, the Congress party decided to field Rahul's sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from Wayanad marking her poll debut.
