DUSU poll: ABVP wins 3 seats, NSUI 1
BJP's student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) bagged three of the four seats in the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections.
ABVP won the post of president, vice president and secretary. The post of joint secretary went to Congress's National Students Union of India (NSUI).
Amit Tanwar was elected president of DUSU while Priyanka Chabri won vice president's post. Ankit Sangwan and Mohit Sangwan have been elected as secretary and joint secretary respectively.
Delhi University introduced NOTA in 2016-17 and a large number of voters preferred it.
Only 36.2% of students cast their ballot+ in DUSU polls in 2016-17. The turnout was the lowest since 2011 when it was 36.5%.
On Friday, the morning turnout was approximately 33%, significantly lower than last year's overall turnout of 43.3%. In fact, voter turnout in 2013-16 has hovered around 43%. In 2010, only 36% of students cast their vote.
Voters and students' outfits blamed the DU administration for the poor turnout.
One reason for the poor turnout was because four colleges — Ramjas, Law Faculty, Ramanujan and Bhaskaracharya College of Applied Science — did not conduct their internal students' union polls along with the DUSU elections. The admission chaos and delay in declaration of results were other reasons attributed for the low turnout.
