New CEC?
CHIEF Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja has completed his five-year term. It is high time for another to take his stead.
Given the scandals and controversies that rocked Mr Raja’s institution during the most consequential phase of his tenure, a respectable departure is surely more than he could have hoped for.
There were repeated calls for his resignation or termination following the 2024 general election, yet he somehow managed to stick it out till the end of his tenure.
