Delhi University Students' Union Elections 2026: Candidates Announced Ahead of September Polls
The Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections for 2026-27 are scheduled for September 18, with key student groups ABVP, NSUI, and the AISA-SFI alliance announcing their candidate panels. ABVP's campaign emphasizes student safety and accommodation, notably through its 'Aakhir Kab Tak?' initiative following the Satya Niketan building collapse. NSUI focuses on student welfare, academic improvements, and rights, while the left alliance highlights issues like sexual harassment and accessibility. The election features seven presidential candidates, including ABVP's Yash Dabas, NSUI's Vijay Shankar Meena, and AISA-SFI's Ananya Raturi, amid some controversy over candidate credentials.
