NEW DELHI (TIP): Achal Kumar Joti today took over as the 21st Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). After taking over, he said his focus would be to “vigorously pursue the mandate of holding free, fair, inclusive and credible polls.
He said the poll panel’s mission of “no voter is left behind” would continue to be his priority even as the focus area would be to actively promote e-governance for holding state and LS polls. Joti, a 1975-batch Gujarat cadre IAS officer, was the Chief Secretary of the state while Narendra Modi was the CM.
