ABVP Sweeps DUSU Polls With Three Seats

RSS-backed Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has swept the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections, winning three of four top seats. The rival Congress-backed National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) managed to bag only one seat.

ABVP candidates Akshit Dahiya, Pradeep Tanwar and Shivangi Kharwal got the maximum votes for the posts of President, Vice-President and Joint-Secretary, respectively. The lone winner from NSUI was Aakash Choudhary, who managed to trump his opponent for the post of DUSU secretary.

This year, 16 candidates were in the fray for the four DUSU posts which form the central panel, and are elected for one year.

Voter turn-out was almost 40%
