Election Commissioner Arun Goel resigns ahead of LS polls

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
Election Commissioner Arun Goel has resigned just weeks before the Lok Sabha elections, leaving the Election Commission with only Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar unless the Centre appoints two new election commissioners. Goel's resignation, three years before his term was to end in 2027, raises questions about the poll panel's internal dynamics. His sudden departure comes after actively participating in poll-related meetings and briefings. The last mid-term resignation from the Election Commission was in 2020 when Ashok Lavasa left after disagreements during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
