Kerala High Court Summons Priyanka Gandhi Over Wayanad Election Petition

The Kerala High Court has issued a formal notice to Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in response to an election petition filed by BJP candidate Navya Haridas, challenging her victory in the Wayanad Lok Sabha by-election of November 2024. 

Ms. Haridas alleges "corrupt practices" and claims that Ms. Gandhi's election affidavit contained "suppression or non-disclosure" of immovable properties owned by her.

This violates mandatory disclosure provisions under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically Section 123 related to corrupt practices.

The petition has been admitted by the Bench of Justice K Babu, and the matter is listed for further hearing in August 2025. (Navya Haridas v Priyanka Gandhi Vadra)
