Q. Recently, who among the following has been selected as the new election commissioner?
Answer: Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu
Notes: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's three-member selection panel has appointed Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu as the new Election Commissioners in the Election Commission of India. However, there seems to be dissent from the Opposition member of the panel, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who has questioned the process of their appointment. The appointments have been made under the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service, and Term of Office) Act 2023.
