Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) election results were declared after 20 rounds of counting, with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) winning three of the four central posts. Yash Dabas was elected president with 24,576 votes, defeating NSUI’s Vijay Shankar Meena, who polled 22,523 votes. Riya Chhawdi won the secretary post with 21,650 votes, while Lakshya Raj Singh secured the joint secretary position with 16,615 votes.
Independent candidate and former NSUI member Deepanshu Shokeen won the vice-president post with 30,615 votes, defeating ABVP’s Ishu Maurya and NSUI’s Vir Chatrath. The election recorded a voter turnout of 40.46 per cent. Following the results, the Delhi High Court’s directions barred the winners and their supporters from holding victory rallies on or outside the university campus.
Shokeen said he received support from students across political and non-political groups, while secretary-elect Riya Chhawdi identified female safety as her top priority. President-elect Yash Dabas said providing hostels for students would be among his key priorities.
