Opposition prepares fresh impeachment motion against chief election commissioner

The INDIA opposition alliance is moving forward with plans to table a fresh impeachment motion targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, according to sources familiar with the development.

Parliamentary sources indicate that the opposition is drafting a new proposal that would include additional charges beyond those raised in previous impeachment attempts. The bloc plans to simultaneously serve notices in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha to initiate formal proceedings.

This marks another attempt by the opposition to remove Kumar from his position as the country's top election official. The timing of the fresh motion comes amid ongoing tensions between the opposition and the Election Commission over various electoral and administrative matters.

The opposition has indicated that the expanded list of allegations in the new draft will provide a more comprehensive basis for the impeachment proceedings. Political analysts suggest the move reflects the opposition's continued concerns about the functioning of the election commission under Kumar's leadership.
