NEW DELHI, May 31 � Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi favours a collegium type setup to choose the CEC and Election Commissioners, who he says should have equal protection under the Constitution in the matter of removal, reports PTI.
He, however, hastened to add that the present system of selection of Election Commissioners and the three-member Commission is working fine.
�I would say that the (present) system has also worked well. But if there is a consensus going forward that this system needs to be replaced by a consultative system, I think the Commission would live with that and work well.
