The new Chief Election Commissioner is Rajiv Kumar.
Rajiv Kumar, the former finance secretary, has been named the new chief election commissioner (CEC), according to law minister Kiren Rijiju. Sushil Chandra, who is retiring on May 15, will be replaced by him.
“The President is pleased to appoint Shri Rajiv Kumar as Chief Election Commissioner with effect from May 15, 2022, in accordance with clause (2) of Article 324 of the Constitution.” Rijiju expressed his best wishes to Shri Rajiv Kumar.
Chief election commissioners serve for six years or until they reach the age of 65, whichever comes first.
After election commissioner Ashok Lavasa stepped down, Kumar, a 1984 batch Indian Administrative Service officer, joined the Election Commission of India (ECI) in September 2020. During his term, he will be in charge of the elections in Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).
Last week, the delimitation exercise in J&K, which has been without an elected government since 2018, was completed, paving the way for elections.
Kumar’s term will coincide with the implementation of electoral reforms, such as multiple dates for voter registration and the voluntary linking of Aadhaar numbers to voter cards.
From September 2017 to February 2020, Kumar, who holds a master’s degree in public policy, was the finance secretary. He oversaw the financial services sector and was instrumental in implementing banking reforms, according to the ECI website. “Kumar had frozen bank accounts of 3.38 lakh shell companies used for creating fictitious equity as a starting point to curb the circulation of black money in a layered fashion.”
From 2015 to 2017, Kumar worked as an establishment officer in the personnel and training department. Kumar drafted the Scheduled Tribes (Reorganisation of Forests Rights) Bill, 2005, as director and joint secretary in the tribal affairs ministry.
According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is thinking about leaving his late-night show to devote more time to his son Billy’s continuous struggle with congenital heart problems.
This week, a number of people with knowledge of the situation disclosed that Kimmel intends to leave Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his contract expires in 2025 in order to spend more time with his wife Molly McNearney, who co-head writes the show.
Kimmel’s choice, according to Radar Online, is a result of Billy’s health issues, especially in the wake of Billy’s most recent third open-heart surgery. But now he’s a “healthy kid.”
The Late Night presenter shared the news on Instagram in late May, saying, “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”
Sources close to Radar Online claim that the Kimmels are getting ready to step back from the spotlight. According to an informant, Jimmy and his spouse prioritise their family over notoriety. They know what to do financially, so they’re prepared to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on what matters most.
“Life is too short to waste time on a job that brings you no happiness.”
Kimmel’s spokesperson denied the findings.
Even though Kimmel’s publicist denied any talks regarding his possible resignation and called the claim “silly,” especially in light of his son’s recent surgery.
“Though they’ll likely stay busy producing and developing shows behind the scenes, their main focus will be spending precious time with their family,” an insider was quoted by Perez Hilton.
Billy’s congenital heart issue was initially made public by Kimmel in 2017, not long after Billy was born, along with the difficulties his family was facing. Billy was born with a heart condition, according to an echocardiography, a type of cardiac sonography that was performed, Kimmel disclosed on his show.
“Tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia.” In essence, there is a hole in the wall separating his left and right sides of the heart, and the pulmonary valve was totally obstructed.
Three days after his birth, Billy had his first successful open-heart surgery. A few months later, he had another one. Billy had his third operation last month at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This was his most recent procedure.
