College union polls: SFI claims victory on 30 campuses in Kozhikode

The Students' Federation of India (SFI) has announced a victory in college union elections on 30 campuses across Kozhikode district, according to reports. The elections, held under the University of Calicut's organisational framework, saw the SFI secure all seats in 14 colleges. However, rival factions have contested these claims.

The United Democratic Students' Front (UDSF) and the Kerala Students' Union (KSU), along with the Muslim Students' Federation (MSF), have each reported their own wins in various colleges within Kozhikode district. Notable SFI victories include Zamorin’s Guruvayurappan’s College and Government Arts and Science College, Meenchanda, as well as Government College, Madappally, Vadakara and CKG Memorial Government College, Perambra.

Meanwhile, the KSU retained its position at St. Joseph’s College, Devagiri, while securing a win over the SFI at Malabar Christian College.

The KSU-MSF alliance also claimed victories at government colleges in Balussery, Kunnamangalam, and Nadapuram. The MSF continued its winning trend at Farook College, Malappuram. However, SFI leaders accused UDSF, Congress, and the Indian Union Muslim League of attempting to disrupt the election process at SNES College, Kunnamangalam.
