YSRCP chief YS Jagan spoke on October 18, 2026, about the current process for appointing Central and State Election Commissioners.
Jagan stated that appointments for both the Chief Election Commissioner and State Election Commissioner must be impartial. He clarified that those in government should not be able to select individuals of their choice and then use their assistance for irregularities.
Jagan expressed regret over a past error made concerning the law for appointing Election Commissioners at the Centre. He noted that transparency is essential in this appointment process.
Therefore, Jagan said he is now seeking complete transparency in the selection of Election Commissioners. He believes there should be no room for any irregularities in these appointments.
