Setting to rest speculation whether she will contest, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi will seek re-election from her traditional family bastion of Rae Bareli while son and party president Rahul Gandhi will run from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.
Congress’s first list of 15 candidates, including 11 from UP, does not include Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Though she can be still nominated, her absence from the first list suggests that the odds are against her contesting. After being anointed in a formal political role as general secretary (east UP), she may be slated to play an organisational role for now. The party also announced four names for Gujarat amid indications that it is likely to field Hardik Patel from Jamnagar.
