Following the unexpected resignation of Election Commissioner Arun Goel, the Centre is set to appoint two new election commissioners by March 15. Goel's departure, just before the announcement of Lok Sabha election schedules, leaves Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar as the sole member. Speculations arise over Goel's resignation, attributed to personal reasons. The selection process, overseen by a search committee and a selection committee led by the Prime Minister, aims to fill the vacancies swiftly. Goel, a 1985-batch IAS officer, joined the Election Commission in 2022, with a tenure extending till 2027.
