Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is leading in both the constituencies he contested. In the early trends, he is leading in Wayanad and Rae Bareli.

In the 2019 elections also, Rahul Gandhi contested in two constituencies, but lost in Amethi and won in Wayanad by a margin of over 4 lakh votes.

After the loss in Amethi against BJP's Smriti Irani, he shifted to Rae Bareli, a constituency that his mother Sonia Gandhi served for decades.
