WAYANAD, Nov 23 (TIWN): Priyanka Gandhi has secured a landmark victory in Wayanad seat pushing the BJP to the third number as CPI-M party bags the second position. In her first-ever reaction to the media, Priyanka Gandhi said, “Thanks to all voters for trusting in us. It proves all the hard work done by my brother Rahul Gandhi was not futile. We are indebted to the people for their trust in us.” With this, Gandhi entered the parliament and expected to strengthen the opposition party in India.
Her maiden electoral victory, from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, with a margin of over 4.1 lakh votes against CPI(M)-led LDF's Sathyan Mokeri whereas BJP-led NDA's Navya Haridas came third with 1,09,939 votes.

"My dearest sisters and brothers of Wayanad, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the trust you have placed in me. I will make sure that over time, you truly feel this victory has been your victory and the person you chose to represent you understands your hopes and dreams and fights for you as one of your own. I look forward to being your voice in Parliament! Thank you for giving me this honor and even more for the immense love you have given me," Gandhi said on X.
