The Himachal Pradesh Congress has formally requested the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) following accusations of vote theft during recent electoral activities in the state.
The party’s demand was submitted to the state government, alleging that the CEC’s office failed to prevent irregularities that could have affected the integrity of the vote count.
No official response from the CEC or the Election Commission has been released yet, leaving the matter pending further investigation.
