Pakistan's Chief Election Commissioner Faces Impeachment Threat Amid Corruption Allegations

There is a procedure mentioned in the constitution for the removal of the chief election commissioner, which is called impeachment. The constitution says that if there is evidence of misconduct or corruption against the person holding this office or if the person is unable to handle the responsibility of the office, then he can be impeached. Along with this, the process of impeachment mentioned in the constitution is so complicated that a proposal has been brought 6 times in the country so far, but no one has been able to reach its destination. There was a discussion to impeach former chief election commissioner T.N. Seshan in the 90s, but it could not reach a formal proposal. After the Indian Express report on the work of the election commission, the opposition is demanding the resignation of chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Meanwhile, there are talks that in the next session, the coalition of opposition parties may present a notice of impeachment against Gyanesh Kumar in the parliament, but it is still pending in the Rajya Sabha.
