The Constitutional Council meeting has been called for Monday afternoon to recommend the chief election commissioner (CEC). The position of the Election Commission head is vacant after the term of Ayodhi Prasad Yadav expired on Sunday. The meeting is also expected to discuss about recommending chairpersons and members of National Women Commission, National Dalit Commission and the Aadibasi Janajati Commission.

They all have been appointed to the respective positions but members in those commissions have yet to be recommended. The meeting will also discuss about recommendation for the members.
