NSUI Triumphs in DUSU Elections, Ending Seven-Year Hiatus
After a prolonged delay due to a court order, Delhi University's Student Union (DUSU) election results have been announced, marking a significant shift in the political landscape of the university. The National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Indian National Congress, has emerged victorious in the President and Joint Secretary positions, while the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party, has secured the Vice President and Secretary positions.
Background
The DUSU elections are the most prestigious student body elections in India, with a significant impact on the national student political scene. The four primary positions in DUSU—President, Vice President, Secretary, and Joint Secretary—are hotly contested by students from various political parties and independent candidates.
