Priyanka Gandhi expected to lead Congress in Kerala elections
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is likely to lead the Congress party's campaign for the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections. This comes amid ongoing internal conflicts within the party's state unit, which have raised concerns among allies. The proposal for her leadership was made by Deepa Dasmunsi, the AICC general secretary for Kerala. A recent meeting in Delhi highlighted the party's internal issues, with Gandhi actively participating in discussions. The Congress party faces challenges in upcoming elections, including a by-election in Nilambur and local body elections. The appointment of Gandhi aims to address factionalism and improve the party's unity and electoral prospects.
