DUSU Election Result 2025: ABVP dominates Delhi University polls, NSUI alleges "combined force" working against them

The Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) Elections 2025 concluded with a decisive victory for the BJP-affiliated student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). The organisation secured three key posts: President, Secretary, and Joint Secretary, while the Congress-backed National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) managed to claim the Vice President position.

Aryan Maan Clinches President Post

ABVP’s Aryan Maan emerged victorious in the presidential race, amassing 28,821 votes and comfortably defeating NSUI’s Joslyn Nandita Choudhary, who garnered 12,645 votes. The Left-backed AISA-SFI candidate, Anjali, finished third with 5,385 votes.

In the Vice President contest, NSUI’s Rahul Jhansla won with a significant 29,339 votes, outpacing ABVP’s Govind Tanwa, who received 20,547 votes. AISA-SFI’s Sohan secured 4,163 votes.

Secretary and Joint Secretary Posts Go to ABVP

ABVP continued its dominance with Kunal Chaudhary claiming the Secretary position with 23,779 votes. He surpassed AISA-SFI’s Abhinandana, who received 9,535 votes, and NSUI’s Kabir, who finished just behind with 9,525 votes. For the Joint Secretary role, Deepika Jha of ABVP triumphed with 21,825 votes, defeating NSUI’s Lav Kush Badhana, who received 17,380 votes, and AISA-SFI’s Abhishek with 8,425 votes.

NSUI Alleges “Combined Force” Working Against Them

Following the announcement, NSUI national president Varun Choudhary praised his union’s efforts, but also alleged that NSUI was not merely contesting against ABVP but against the “combined force” of the Delhi University administration, Delhi Government, Central Government, RSS-BJP, and Delhi Police.

In a social media post on X, Choudhary wrote: "NSUI fought well in this odd election – not just against ABVP, but against the combined force of DU Admin, Delhi Government, Central Government, RSS-BJP & Delhi Police. Yet thousands of DU students stood firmly with us and our candidates fought well. Best wishes to Rahul Jhansla, newly elected DUSU Vice President from NSUI panel, and to all other office bearers who won. They even tried to steal elections by manipulating EVMs and using professors of DU election team. Win or loss, NSUI will always fight for common students, their issues & to save DU. We will only grow stronger."
