Answer and explanation
Correct Answer: A: Sikandar Sultan Raja
Explanation: Sikandar Sultan Raja is the current Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of Pakistan, appointed on January 27, 2020. He is the first career civil servant (from the Pakistan Administrative Service) to be appointed to this role, after a constitutional amendment allowed non-judges to serve as CEC. A retired bureaucrat from Sargodha, he previously served as Railways Secretary, Petroleum Secretary, and Chief Secretary of both Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. His five-year tenure ended on January 8, 2025, but he continues in a caretaker capacity until a successor is formally appointed.
