India's Opposition Faces Coordination Challenges Amid Electoral Integrity Concerns
India's Opposition coalition faces challenges in uniting ahead of upcoming elections, lacking a formal dispute-resolution mechanism and a clear leadership figure akin to past political architects like Harkishan Singh Surjeet. Concerns about electoral integrity have been raised, including allegations of biased conduct by the Chief Election Commissioner and manipulation of electoral rolls. Despite these issues, major Opposition leaders have not proposed boycotting elections, reflecting the strategic risks involved. The coalition continues to seek effective coordination amid doubts about institutional impartiality.
