Rahul Gandhi will also fight from his current seat of Wayanad in Kerala; victory here had allowed him to retain his Lok Sabha status after the last general election.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will make her electoral debut from the party's Uttar Pradesh stronghold of Raebareli, sources told NDTV Wednesday afternoon. Rahul Gandhi, meanwhile, will return to the Congress' other UP stronghold - Amethi - which he lost to the BJP's Smriti Irani in 2019.
Mr Gandhi will, however, also fight from his current seat of Wayanad in Kerala; victory here had allowed him to retain his Lok Sabha status after the last general election.
Priyanka Gandhi's entry into electoral politics - a long-awaited event - comes after her mother, ex-party boss Sonia Gandhi - said she would not seek re-election from Raebareli, a seat she has won five times in the past, including 2019, when she was the sole Congress leader to win a UP Lok Sabha seat.
