DUSU Elections today: ABVP vs NSUI vs AISA-SFI - Key candidates, issues, voting time and a high court warning
DUSU Polls today: Voting will be held on Friday, with polling for day classes from 8.30 am to 1 pm and evening classes from 3 pm to 7.30 pm. Counting of votes is scheduled for September 19 at the Multipurpose Hall, University Sports Stadium, North Campus.
Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections will take place today, with major student organizations ABVP, NSUI, and AISA-SFI alliance competing for the four central panel posts. Voting is set for 8.30 am to 1 pm for day classes and 3 pm to 7.30 pm for evening classes, with four Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) deployed. The results will determine the DUSU central panel for the 2026-27 academic session, scheduled for September 19.
The elections hold particular significance following the recent Satya Niketan tragedy and student protests leading to the resignation of a Union education minister. Both ABVP and NSUI have strong histories in DUSU elections, with ABVP winning the presidency six times and NSUI twice. This year, ABVP candidates include Yash Dabas, Ishu Maurya, Riya Chhawadi, and Lakshya Raj Singh, while NSUI will field Vijay Shankar Meena, Vir Chatrath, Namrata Chaudhary, and Gopal Choudhary.
AISA-SFI alliance will have Ananya Raturi, Akshat Shikhar, Stanzin Deskyong, and B Parijaat as candidates. The election process has been marked by student safety concerns following the recent Satya Niketan building collapse.
