Opposition calls for CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s removal after report on Election Commissioners’ dissent
Opposition parties on Wednesday (September 23, 2026) sought the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar after an Indian Express expose claimed that two of the three Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, had formally recorded objections at least 14 times over the last 10 months. The two ECs said major decisions were being made in the name of the full Election Commission without their knowledge, several of which they called “unauthorised and illegal”.
