NEW DELHI: Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Saturday wrested the president's post in the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections from the NSUI which bagged the other three top seats.
ABVP's Nupur Sharma defeated Sonia Sapra (NSUI) by 1,639 votes to become the new DUSU president. Sharma got 10,345 votes, DU election officials said. NSUI candidates won the vice president, general secretary and joint secretary seats defeating their nearest ABVP rivals.
NSUI's Manohar Naagar was elected to the post of vice president while Amit Chaudhary won the general secretary seat. Ashish Gehlot won the joint secretary post. Congress' student wing NSUI has been dominating the students' union for the last five years and had clinched all the four top posts last year with Amrita Bahri winning the president slot.
About 65 officials were engaged in counting of votes that began at 9 AM. The polls were conducted yesterday at 36 booths in the north campus and affiliating colleges in which an estimated 40 per cent voters turned up to cast votes.
