NSUI Wins President and General Secretary Posts in Patna University Student Elections

In the 2026 Patna University Students' Union elections, NSUI secured the president and general secretary posts, with Shantanu Shekhar and Khushi Kumari winning respectively. The BJP-affiliated ABVP won the joint secretary and treasurer positions. Voter turnout declined to 37.84%, down from 45.25% last year, amid some incidents of violence. Independent candidate Sifat Faiz became the first woman vice president. Observers noted the NSUI's resurgence and called for BJP introspection given its state-level political presence.
