The appointment of a new Chief Election Commissioner is expected to be made on February 22. The appointment of the new CEC will be made under a new law. The new law was passed after a series of petitions were filed in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will hear the case on February 23. The current CEC, Ravi Agrawal, is set to retire at the end of the month. He is the only CEC not to have been appointed by the Prime Minister. The CEC should be chosen on the advice of the PM, according to the law, not the other way around. The law says the CEC must be chosen by a committee of five people, including the PM and the Leader of the Opposition. The Congress wants the appointment to be delayed so that it can be decided by the full committee, not just the PM. The selection of a CEC is supposed to be done on the basis of a vote of the members of the committee, but the Congress wants it to be decided on the first day of the next session of Parliament.
