Wayanad By-Election 2024
Priyanka’s key opponents include Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate Sathyan Mokeri and National Democratic Alliance ( NDA ) candidate Navya Haridas. Mokeri, who contested in 2014, previously reduced the UDF’s victory margin to around 20,000 votes. Both LDF and NDA campaigns questioned Priyanka’s experience and pointed to her brother’s alleged infrequent visits to Wayanad following his 2019 win, suggesting she might follow a similar path. Priyanka responded firmly to her critics, asserting that she is a “fighter” who would advocate for the interests of Wayanad residents across political platforms.
