Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, both retired IAS officers, have been appointed as Election Commissioners, a decision made by a selection panel chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and officially sanctioned by President Droupadi Murmu. The announcement follows a meeting attended by Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary, who mentioned that the government had a majority in the selection committee. Initially, Chowdhary was presented with 212 names, indicating the extensive deliberation process behind the appointments. Both Kumar and Sandhu officially took charge of their positions, joining the Election Commission of India (ECI) with Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar welcoming them. The appointments come ahead of the anticipated announcement of a date for a national election, filling the vacant spots in the three-person body responsible for overseeing elections in India.
