A new Chair for the Electoral Commission, Al-Haj Jaffer Dharamsi, was voted in after this position was vacated at ExCo 6 (27th June 2020). He, together with the rest of the Electoral Commission conducted the election of new Office Bearers to fill the vacancies which arose following the resignation of the (outgoing) Office Bearers. The resignation was dated 28th July 2020 (a few days after this scheduled Exco).
