the president
the chief election commissioner of india can be removed from office as can be a judge of the supreme court of india: a two-thirds majority resolution passed by the parliament of india (lok sabha and rajya sabha) outlining the grounds of misbehavior or incapacity. other election commissioners can be removed by the president of india on the advice of the chief election commissioner. a chief election commissioner has yet to be impeached. in 2009, just before the 2009 lok sabha elections, chief election commissioner n. gopalaswami sent a recommendation to president prathibha patil to remove election commissioner navin chawla, who was soon to take office as the chief election commissioner and to subsequently supervise the lok sabha election, a potential conflict of interest considering his partisan political party behavior. the president rejected advisory recommendation. subsequently, after gopalswami's retirement the next month, chawla became the chief election commissioner and supervised the 2009 lok sabha elections.
