May 3, 2024: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination from Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli for the Lok Sabha elections on Friday.
Rahul Gandhi was accompanied by Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi.
Earlier in the day, Congress announced Rahul Gandhi as the party candidate from Raebareli, the seat vacated recently by his mother Sonia Gandhi when she became a member of Rajya Sabha.
Rahul is pitted against Congress defector and three-time MLC Dinesh Pratap Singh in Raebareli. A sitting MP from Kerala's Wayanad, Rahul is also seeking a fresh term in the Lower House from the seat that polled in Phase 2 of the general elections on April 26.
The voting in both seats will be held in the fifth phase of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections on May 7. The polling for the 25 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat will be held in a single phase on May 7, with the counting of votes scheduled for June 4.
