> Election Commission is an independent body in India and cannot be influenced or rigged towards one or other party of which the opposition is accusing them of unfairly.

Does such a body truly exist anywhere?

Yes. In India Election Commission has a very special status and rights - in many ways, it's power subsumes the actual government at the time of the election.

Of course it is possible to go to great lengths to rig the system to destroy this situation as well but any sensible person/group will understand that the impartiality of the EC is in the larger favour of everybody.
