How can CEC be removed as Opposition seeks Gyanesh Kumar's exit?

short by Garima Garg / on Thursday, 24 September, 2026
At least 100 Lok Sabha MPs or 50 Rajya Sabha MPs must sign a motion to remove Chief Election Commissioner, which the Speaker/Chairman must admit. If a three-member inquiry committee sustains the charges, both Houses must pass the motion by a special majority before the President orders removal. CEC can be removed only on grounds of "proved misbehaviour" or "incapacity".
