Who is the present Election Commissioner of India?

Answer: On Thursday 15 may, the Union Ministry of Law and Justice made the announcement that Rajiv Kumar, who is currently serving as the Election Commissioner, will begin his tenure as the next Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) on May 15. CEC Sushil Chandra, who is nearing the end of his career, will hand over the reins to Kumar.

The President of India is responsible for making the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, who serves as the head of the Election Commission of India. 

After being appointed by the President of India, it is very difficult to remove the Chief Election Commissioner from office. Two-thirds of the members of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha need to vote against the CEC for disorderly conduct or improper actions in order to remove the CEC.
