Raebareli, a stronghold of the Congress party and a seat often held by the Gandhi family, is set to see Priyanka Gandhi make her electoral debut. Sonia Gandhi, who has represented Raebareli for several terms, has stepped aside due to health reasons, paving the way for her daughter's candidacy.
Congress sources confirm that Priyanka Gandhi's candidature from Raebareli is almost certain, ending speculation about the seat's representation. Raebareli and Amethi, the latter previously held by Rahul Gandhi who faced defeat by BJP's Smriti Irani in the last elections, are significant for the Congress in Uttar Pradesh.
The nominations for these constituencies begin on Friday, with the Congress party expecting Rahul Gandhi to contest again from Amethi. There is also a buzz about Robert Vadra, Priyanka Gandhi's husband, considering a political role.
Before the nominations, Priyanka and Rahul are scheduled to visit the Ayodhya Ram Temple, indicating the campaign's cultural and religious outreach. Repairs at Rahul Gandhi's residence in Amethi are underway, preparing for the upcoming electoral battle.
