Election Commission EC Kerala By-Election Results 2024 LIVE: Congress candidate from Wayanad Lok Sabha by-polls, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is currently leading by over four lakh votes while the BJP has gained a lead on Nanded seat in Maharashtra, as per the trends of the Election Commission.
In Wayanad, Congress candidate Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has currently got 6,12,020 votes and is currently leading by a margin of 4,04,619 votes. CPI candidate Sathyan Mokeri is in the second spot and BJP candidate Navya Haridas on third.
The by-polls were held in 48 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha seats across 15 states, with notable contests in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad, Kerala, where Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made her electoral debut.
Counting for Wayanad Lok Sabha seat began on Saturday morning. Wayanad, a Congress bastion is witnessing a triangular contest between Priyanka Gandhi, BJP’s Navya Haridas, and the Left candidate Sathyan Mokeri.
Priyanka Gandhi is contesting from the Wayanad constituency as a United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate, from the seat her brother Rahul Gandhi vacated. Wayanad’s seat was vacated by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after he was also elected to Lok Sabha from Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh in the general elections held earlier this year.

If Priyanka Gandhi wins from Wayanad, she will be the third person from the Gandhi family to enter Parliament. BJP candidate Navya Haridas today expressed confidence in her party’s victory, saying that if the people want development in Wayanad, they will choose the NDA.
Speaking to ANI, Haridas said. “Last time Rahul Gandhi had won from Wayanad but he rejected this Mandal and retained Rae Bareli. This time the voting percentage came down as they were not in the mood to face the election after the landslide incident. If people need development in Wayanad, then they would select NDA.”
Earlier, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at the central government, which has reportedly refused to declare Wayanad landslides a national disaster as requested by the Kerala government. In a post on X, Priyanka called it a “shocking injustice” to the victims and criticised the central government for “denying essential relief to those in dire need.”

BJP candidate Navya Haridas is trailing in third position. She says, "While this counting started, we were having expectations because we approached the people by speaking only about the development of Wayanad... This development-oriented election campaign was being done during this election. We had hoped that people will be executing their minds accordingly for development. But unfortunately, the election turnout was very low. BJP couldn't reach the level that we expected...In the last 5 years, if we see, no work was done in any sector. People of Wayanad were longing for medical college for decades but that also was not implemented...Another 5 years will also be like that. Priyanka Vadra will also be in a visiting mode to Wayanad. So, in this campaign, we were asking the people to be with us. But we couldn't win this time..."
