Amethi Congress Candidate News | Congress Picks For Amethi, Raebareli To Be Announced & Other News

The suspense over the Congress's candidates for the Amethi and Raebareli Lok Sabha constituencies in Uttar Pradesh is set to end today, just one day before the nomination deadline. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is expected to announce the candidates for the two seats today.
Speculation has been rife regarding the candidature of former party president Rahul Gandhi and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for Amethi and Raebareli, respectively. Rahul Gandhi, who faced an unexpected defeat in Amethi to BJP's Smriti Irani in 2019, is expected to contest from there again, possibly alongside his current constituency, Kerala's Wayanad.

For Raebareli, held by Sonia Gandhi since 2004, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's entry into electoral politics is anticipated, however, discussions within the party suggest a hesitancy towards fielding all three Gandhi family members in parliament, considering the "dynastic politics" charge that the party is often subjected to by the BJP.
