Options scarce if Election Commission chair becomes vacant

PETALING JAYA: Finding a suitable candidate to be the next Election Commission (EC) chairman is proving to be quite a task for the government, says a senior official.

The official said with speculation of the "looming" general election, it was important that any successor to Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun is able to both manage the polls and also to be perceived as not being biased to any party.
