New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress party, will run for the Lok Sabha seat from Rae Bareli, which his mother Sonia Gandhi formerly held.
The Gandhi family's close aide Kishori Lal Sharma has been fielded for the Amethi Lok Sabha seat, the party announced in a statement.
Sharma was the key man who looked after the two key constituencies in the absence of the Gandhis.
The two will file their nomination papers on Friday, the last date for the filing of nominations for the seats that will go to polls on May 20 in the fifth round of the seven-phase general elections.
