Rahul Gandhi keeps his seat in the Indian parliament as expected.
The 53-year-old has 20 years of experience in parliament, where he is the fourth generation in his family to hold a seat. However, over the next five years, he will have to share the chamber with the son of his grandmother's murderer.
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984 by two of her Sikh bodyguards. The son of one of them has now been elected as a representative of the state of Punjab.
Sarabjeet Singh Khalsa ran as an independent candidate and is one of the few in Punjab who managed to defeat the opposition alliance's candidate in his electoral district.
He is not the only newly elected representative from Punjab to attract attention. The imprisoned separatist leader Amritpal Singh was also elected to parliament as an independent candidate.
Singh was arrested last year after months of advocating for the creation of an independent Khalistan, the Sikhs' name for a "pure" Punjab, governed according to Sikh religious laws.
