The BJP has named Kozhikode councilwoman Navya Haridas as its candidate for the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypolls, challenging Congress' Priyanka Gandhi. Haridas, a rising BJP leader known for her work in local governance and social outreach, will contest the seat vacated by Rahul Gandhi, who opted to retain Rae Bareli. The Wayanad bypoll on November 13, 2024, marks Priyanka’s parliamentary debut, making it a highly anticipated contest. Haridas, who has gained popularity in Kerala's political circles, is expected to be a key figure in the BJP's push to gain ground in the southern state.
