Wayanad has been Rahul Gandhi's primary political home ever since his defeat to BJP bigwig Smriti Irani in Amethi, his family's pocket borough.
The exit poll forecasts a dominant performance by the United Democratic Front (UDF), in coalition with the Congress, in the upcoming Lok Sabha election in Kerala. It suggests that the UDF is likely to secure 16 seats, with the Left Democratic Front (LDF) projected to win two seats, while two seats are anticipated to be closely contested.
According to a report in the Times of India, this is a bitter-sweet forecast for the Congress party as the VMR-Manorama News exit poll has predicted a clean sweep by the United Democratic Front (UDF), which has an alliance with the Congress.
