Ending weeks-long speculation after the Lok Sabha result, Rahul Gandhi has decided to vacate the Wayanad seat and retain Raebareli, which was once represented by his mother Sonia. 

Moreover, the Congress party has decided to field Priyanka from the Wayanad seat.

Briefing the reporters, Rahul said, "I have an emotional connection with Waynand and Raebareli. I was an MP from Wayanad for the last 5 years. I thank the people for their love and support. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will fight from elections from Wayanad but I will also periodically visit Wayanad. I have an old relationship with Raebareli, I am happy that I will get to represent them again but it was a tough decision..."
