Election Structure and Previous Results
The DUSU Election 2024 will fill four central posts: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Joint Secretary. These elections are conducted by the central committee, while each college conducts elections for the same positions at the college level. The central committee monitors these college elections to maintain fairness.
Last year, the ABVP (RSS-affiliated student wing) secured three central panel posts, including the President’s post, while NSUI (Congress’ student wing) won the Vice President’s position. This year’s election is anticipated to be competitive, with student groups gearing up for the polls after a three-year gap due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
