ABVP's Aryan Maan Clinches DUSU President Post in Delhi University Students' Union Elections

In a thrilling display of student political power, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has once again asserted its dominance in the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections, with Aryan Maan clinching the coveted post of President. The results, declared amidst high anticipation, signify a crucial victory for the ABVP, consolidating its influence over one of India's most prestigious student bodies.

The election, a fiercely contested battle between prominent student organisations, saw a remarkable voter turnout, reflecting the deep engagement of Delhi University students in shaping their union’s leadership.

Aryan Maan's victory as President marks a significant moment, with the ABVP securing a commanding position in the new DUSU panel. While the official declaration confirmed Maan's win, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) also saw success, with its candidate Abhi Dahiya emerging victorious for the post of Vice President.

Further triumphs for the ABVP include Yadvendra Dabas securing the position of Secretary and Muskan Dedha winning the Joint Secretary role, creating a strong ABVP-led executive committee.

This diverse outcome underscores the dynamic nature of student politics within Delhi University, where various ideologies compete for student representation. The final vote count revealed Aryan Maan's decisive lead, securing 26,100 votes against his closest rival, NSUI’s Himanshu Nagar, who garnered 25,670 votes.

This narrow margin highlights the intense competition and the vibrant democratic spirit among the students.

The DUSU elections are not merely about university administration; they are often seen as a barometer for national political trends among the youth. The ABVP, the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has historically maintained a strong presence in DUSU, leveraging its organisational strength and ideological appeal.

Its consistent victories reflect a continued resonance with a significant portion of the student electorate.

The campaigning period was characterised by energetic rallies, debates, and extensive outreach programs across various college campuses, with candidates making fervent promises ranging from improved campus facilities and better academic resources to enhanced student welfare and representation.

The newly elected panel now faces the significant responsibility of addressing these promises and working towards the betterment of the student community. As the celebrations unfold, all eyes will be on the new DUSU team to see how they navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, shaping the student experience at Delhi University for the coming year.
