Opposition Seeks CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Removal Over Corruption Claims

Opposition parties are demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar following corruption allegations. Under Article 324(5), removal requires a motion signed by 100 Lok Sabha or 50 Rajya Sabha MPs, a three-member inquiry, and a two-thirds majority in both houses. No CEC has ever been removed this way; attempts began in March and April 2026.
