DUSU election results 2026: Over 2,000 police, paramilitary personnel deployed as Delhi University vote counting begins

More than 2,000 police and paramilitary personnel were deployed as ABVP, NSUI and Left-backed panels faced a close contest and allegations of malpractice.

  • On Friday, Delhi University students cast ballots in the Delhi University Students' Union elections, recording a 39.78% voter turnout. Counting commences at 8:30 am Saturday, September 19, at the University Sports Stadium.
  • Months after youth-centric protests at Jantar Mantar brought student accountability and civic concerns into focus, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and the National Students' Union of India engaged in a high-stakes electoral contest.
  • Tensions escalated as DUSU President Aryan Maan accused NSUI of distributing fake identification cards to 100 students. Authorities deployed over 2,000 police personnel and 1,000 Electronic Voting Machines across North and South campuses to maintain order.
  • The Delhi High Court on Friday ordered a complete ban on victory processions following the election results. The court issued show-cause notices to all student organisations regarding alleged violations of Lyngdoh Committee recommendations.
  • Saturday's results will determine the central panel for the 2026-27 academic session. Both ABVP and NSUI expressed confidence in securing a clean sweep, with the outcome revealing which group best gauged student concerns.
