Editorial illustration, not an event photo. Allegations are from the opposition and protesters. The Election Commission has denied manipulation. Not legal advice. Morning of 3 October 2026.
Gyanesh Kumar had not resigned by the morning of 3 October 2026. That single demand filled Mumbai and Delhi on 2 October. Shivaji Park set the next date at 10 October. No resignation is the news. A post saying he has resigned is a rumour until a notification exists.
Why it has not come
The law does not empty the chair by slogan. The CEC resigns, or Parliament sends an address by special majority. Two removal notices were rejected. The April notice is pending. The 14 objections are file notes, not resignations. The government has rejected the charges. The Commission has denied manipulation.
