DUSU Election Results 2025: Vote Counting Underway Amid High Security
The eagerly-awaited vote counting for the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) Election 2025 began on Friday morning at the North Campus Convention Centre, with heavy security in place. Chief Election Officer Prof. Raj Kishor Sharma announced that the process started promptly at 8 AM after the strong rooms were opened in the presence of contesting candidates. He added that the counting is expected to continue through 18–20 rounds before final results are declared by evening.
High Voter Turnout This Year
This year, over 2.75 lakh students were eligible to vote across 52 centres and 195 booths using 711 Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). The overall voter turnout was 39.45 percent, marking a nearly 4 percent increase compared to last year. This rise in participation is being seen as a sign of renewed interest in campus politics among students.
21 Candidates in the Fray
A total of twenty-one candidates are contesting for the four key positions: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Joint Secretary. Among these, nine candidates are vying for the president’s post, which remains highly competitive. The central battle is primarily between the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), which is backed by the Congress party.
Delhi High Court Issues Curbs
In light of the intense contest, the Delhi High Court has stepped in to ensure peace in the city. On Wednesday, the court ruled that no victory processions will be allowed anywhere in Delhi following the announcement of results, citing concerns over maintaining law and order.
Results Expected by Evening
With a record number of security personnel deployed to maintain order and transparency, the DUSU 2025 results are anticipated to be announced by this evening. These outcomes are expected to set the tone for student politics in the upcoming academic year.
