Bhubaneswar: The Election Commission of India (ECI) appointed Sushil Kumar Lohani as the next Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Odisha on Thursday.
Lohani, a 1995-batch IAS officer, is currently posted as the commissioner-cum-secretary of Excise. He will replace 1993-batch IAS officer Surendra Kumar, who was appointed as the CEO in February 2018.
