Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made her Lok Sabha debut today, taking the oath as the newly elected MP from Wayanad. With this, all three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family—Sonia, Rahul, and Priyanka—are now in Parliament for the first time in decades. Priyanka's bypoll win in Wayanad, with a margin of 4,10,931 votes, followed Rahul Gandhi vacating the seat to retain Rae Bareli. Wayanad witnessed a triangular contest among Priyanka, BJP's Navya Haridas, and CPI’s Sathyan Mokeri. Despite a lower voter turnout, her victory margin surpassed her brother's, marking a historic moment for the Congress and the Gandhi family.
