Gen Z-led 'Cockroach' Party Protest Demands Election Chief's Resignation

Hundreds of members and supporters of the newly formed, Gen Z‑led political group known as the 'Cockroach' party assembled in a public demonstration. The gathering was organized to voice discontent with the current election chief and to demand his immediate resignation.

Protesters carried placards and chanted slogans directly targeting the election chief, asserting that his continued tenure undermines the credibility of the electoral process. The party’s youth leadership framed the demand as a call for greater transparency and accountability in the conduct of elections.

The protest highlights the growing willingness of younger Indian citizens to engage directly in political activism, signalling a shift toward more vocal participation by the country's Gen Z demographic in national affairs.
