The Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections drew a significant 35% turnout by 2:30 pm, marked by allegations of malpractice between key contenders Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the National Students' Union of India (NSUI).
Chief Election Officer Raj Kishore Sharma reported consistent voting trends similar to previous years, with Miranda House recording an impressive over 60% participation rate. Enhanced security, including police deployment, body cameras, CCTV, and drones, aimed to ensure smooth voting processes.
This year's elections, hailed as 'clean and green' due to strict adherence to anti-defacement guidelines, also drew comparisons to major political events with the heightened atmosphere. Despite sharp exchanges between rival groups, the commitment to fair elections remained strong, setting a potential benchmark for future student elections.
