Vivek Joshi is now an Election Commissioner, with a chance to lead the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. His appointment overshadows ongoing Supreme Court reviews regarding the election appointment process.

Vivek Joshi Named Election Commissioner

Vivek Joshi takes over as Election Commissioner

Vivek Joshi has been named an Election Commissioner, clearing a path for his future role as Chief Election Commissioner for the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. This decision comes amid legal scrutiny over electoral appointment procedures.

Vivek Joshi, previously serving as the Chief Secretary of Haryana, has been appointed as an Election Commissioner, a move that positions him as a potential Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) for the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
His appointment was announced on Monday amidst calls from the Opposition to delay the process until the Supreme Court had addressed ongoing petitions challenging the new appointment procedure for Election Commissioners.
A senior Haryana IAS officer, speaking anonymously, described Joshi as a "soft-spoken and reliable officer," trusted by the current BJP government.
The central government&rsquo;s decision to appoint him as Election Commissioner now ensures that regardless of the Supreme Court&rsquo;s decision on the appointment process, Joshi is likely to become India&rsquo;s CEC when the country heads to the polls in 2029.
The Supreme Court has prioritized the hearing of the related petitions and will take them up on Wednesday.
Joshi is set to assume the role of CEC when Gyanesh Kumar, the newly appointed CEC, completes his term on January 27, 2029, upon reaching the age of 65. The other Election Commissioner, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, will end his term on July 6, 2028, ahead of the next general election. Both Kumar and Sandhu were appointed to their roles on March 14, 2024.&nbsp;
The tenure for a CEC is capped at six years or until the age of 65, whichever comes first. At 58 years and nine months, Joshi is expected to serve a full six-year term within the Election Commission.

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar emphasized maintaining decorum during campaigns and ensuring free and fair polls. He warned political parties and star campaigners against misconduct, urging them to respect election ethics.

CEC Calls for Election Decorum and Fair Play Ahead of Delhi Polls

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar emphasized maintaining decorum during campaigns and ensuring free and fair polls. He warned political parties and star campaigners against misconduct, urging them to respect election ethics.

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Tuesday urged political parties to maintain decorum during elections and said the Election Commission would conduct checks to ensure free and fair polls.
Kumar was addressing a press conference to announce the schedule for the assembly polls in Delhi.
"We will check everyone for ensuring money-free elections. During recent polls, there was a hue and cry that some helicopters were checked. People even come down to threatening polling officers but we control ourselves because it disturbs the level playing field," Kumar said.
"The star campaigners and those in political campaigns are duty-bound to ensure that etiquette is followed... We will be very harsh. Star campaigners should not act in a way that discourages common voters," he said.
District magistrates and returning officers will ensure fair play and a level playing field for every candidate, he added.
"We will also request the political parties not to create undue pressure on the officials," Kumar said and added that the parties could ask for any explanation in writing.
Assembly polls in Delhi will be held on February 5 and the votes counted on February 8, Kumar announced on Tuesday.
Bypolls to two assembly constituencies -- Milkipur in Uttar Pradesh and Erode in Tamil Nadu -- will also be held on the same date.

Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury announces names of 2 new election commissioners

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who was part of the selection panel, announced the names of the two new election commissioners on Thursday.&nbsp;

The Congress leader, who was part of the committee along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, objected to the selection process.
'Earlier, they had given me 212 names, but 10 minutes before the appointment they again gave me just six names. I am not saying that it's arbitrary but the procedure that is being followed has some lacunae,' he said.&nbsp;
