The Congress-led UDF is gearing up for an election period in Kerala, launching its campaign for Priyanka Gandhi Vadra just ahead of the Wayanad bye-elections on November 13. This push is crucial since Wayanad voters previously showed strong support for Rahul Gandhi.
At the kickoff event, AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal expressed confidence, saying, “Wayanad folks who backed Rahul Gandhi are definitely going to give Priyanka a historic win.” The UDF is clearly aiming to ride that wave of support.
This campaign will feature constituency conventions this Saturday across all seven assembly areas in Wayanad. Key figures like KPCC President K Sudhakaran and Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan will be leading the way, setting up constituency election committees to strengthen local support.
Preparations are already underway, with panchayat conventions recently wrapping up in Sultan Batheri led by Congress leader Dean Kuriakos. Upcoming events in Mananthavady, led by MLA Sunny Joseph and MP Rajmohan Unnithan, are creating a buzz. The goal is to have all panchayat and booth-level committees ready by October 25.
Additionally, leaders will be doing home visits on October 26 and 27, aiming for that direct connection with voters. With the Election Commission announcing schedules for multiple assembly and Lok Sabha seats across various states, all eyes are on Wayanad as this vibrant campaign unfolds.
