**Gyanesh Kumar, appointed Chief Election Commissioner in February 2025 with a term until January 2029, faces sustained opposition pressure over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls that removed over 130 million names, alongside reports of internal objections from the other two Election Commissioners to unilateral decisions.** Parliamentary removal requires a process equivalent to impeaching a Supreme Court judge—notice signed by at least 50 Rajya Sabha or 100 Lok Sabha members, admission by the presiding officer, a three-member inquiry committee, and a two-thirds majority vote in both houses—which has never succeeded for any CEC. Prior opposition notices were rejected or remain pending, and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla stated in October 2026 that any fresh motion would follow established rules. Ongoing protests, Supreme Court petitions, and calls for resignation have not altered the constitutional threshold or produced evidence of imminent voluntary exit, leaving completion of removal proceedings by December 31 highly improbable under current parliamentary dynamics.
