ABVP Wins Three Posts, Independent Candidate Secures Vice-President in 2026 DUSU Elections
The 2026 Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections concluded with a 40.46% voter turnout, the highest in three years. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) won three of the four central panel posts—president, secretary, and joint secretary—while independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen, formerly associated with NSUI, secured the vice-president position. The Congress-affiliated National Students' Union of India (NSUI) failed to win any central posts and alleged electoral irregularities. The elections were held amid heightened security and focused on issues like student welfare, campus safety, and accommodation.
