PoliticsSalman Khurshid on CEC Dnyanesh Kumar's Resignation: Must Be Voluntary
Senior Congress leader and Supreme Court lawyer Salman Khurshid stated that legally, no one can force Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Dnyanesh Kumar to resign. The Constitution does not explicitly mention the resignation process for the CEC, though Article 324 covers appointment, tenure, and removal through impeachment. CECs can voluntarily resign, as seen in past cases like Ashok Lavasa in 2020 and Arun Goyal in 2024. Ongoing protests demand his resignation on moral grounds, not legal ones.
