Wayanad residents had mixed reactions to Rahul Gandhi's decision to contest from Raebareli along with Wayanad. While some supported his move, others expressed concerns about potential vacancy of the Wayanad seat. A local shopkeeper defended Gandhi's decision, citing his leadership role. However, some worried about the consequences if he vacates the Wayanad seat. IUML leader Kunhalikutty supported Gandhi's decision, highlighting its potential benefits for the Congress-led alliance. Gandhi previously won Wayanad in 2019 but lost Amethi. His opponents in Wayanad this time included CPI's Annie Raja and BJP's K. Surendran.
