Since its establishment post the 2008 delimitation, Wayanad has been held by the Congress. In the last election, Rahul Gandhi won by a staggering margin of 4,31,770 votes over his competitor, PP Suneer of the CPI. The constituency comprises seven assembly constituencies spanning three districts: Wayanad, Kozhikode, and Malappuram. The political landscape includes a mix of Congress, CPI(M), Indian Union Muslim League, and Left Democratic Front legislators, reflecting the diverse political dynamics within the constituency. Wayanad has a diverse demographic composition, with a predominantly rural electorate at 93%. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes constitute 7% and 9.3 % of the electorate, respectively. Religious demographics are equally balanced, with Hindus, Muslims, and Christians each constituting around 40%, 40%, and 20% of the population. This time it's a triangular contest. BJP has fielded Kerala President K Surendran against Rahul Gandhi. CPI too has fielded a candidate in Annie Raja here. With the congress not revealing its cards on Amethi and Raebareli, the question is - has the battle for Wayanad got trickier?
