AMU Students' Union Election Highlights Women's Voting Concerns and Historic Candidacy
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is preparing for its Students' Union election on November 5, 2026. Over 4,000 women students from AMU's Women's College raised concerns about being excluded from voting in the main AMUSU election, seeking intervention from the Education Minister. The university clarified that these students vote in their own Women's College union election held the same day. Meanwhile, Amina Irshad, a 28-year-old research scholar, is contesting the AMUSU president post, aiming to become the first woman to hold the position since the union's inception in 1920.
