Just an opinion

Checked 14 Oct 2026 · Updated 15 Oct 2026

The Reel is a piece of political campaign material expressing the opinion that the Chief Election Commissioner should resign. While it is true that opposition parties and youth movements are actively protesting and demanding his resignation over alleged voter roll irregularities and internal dissent, the Election Commission and the ruling party deny any wrongdoing. Whether his actions justify resignation is a matter of ongoing political debate, not a settled fact.

Nothing in it to fact-check.
