Priyanka Gandhi Vadra marked her electoral debut by taking her oath as a Lok Sabha member on November 28. Congress leader Ravindra Vasantrao Chavan was also sworn in as MP from Nanded.
This is a historic win as, after decades, all three Nehru-Gandhi family members—Sonia, Rahul, and Priyanka—are now part of Parliament. Priyanka won the seat of Wayanad with a margin of over 4 lakh votes in a by-election held along with the polls for Maharashtra and Jharkhand Assembly.
Rahul Gandhi vacated the Wayanad constituency when he chose to keep Rae Bareli after winning both the seats in the 2024 general elections. This led to a three-cornered contest between Priyanka, BJP’s Navya Haridas and CPI leader Sathyan Mokeri, which Priyanka won handsomely.

The third and final ODI in the series between Pakistan and Zimbabwe promises to be a nail-biter as the series stands level at 1-1.
