DUSU Elections 2023: NSUI's Aryan Mann Clinches Presidency Amidst ABVP's Dominant Performance

After a gripping four-year hiatus, the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections roared back to life, culminating in a dramatic and hotly contested outcome that saw a split mandate between two major student political forces.

In a thrilling turn of events, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) celebrated a significant victory as their candidate, Aryan Mann, triumphantly secured the coveted post of DUSU President.

Mann's win, decided by a substantial margin of over 7,000 votes, marked a pivotal moment for the NSUI, especially after initial claims and counter-claims of victory created a tense atmosphere during the vote counting process.

While the presidency went to the NSUI, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) showcased its formidable presence by sweeping the remaining three crucial positions.

The ABVP's dominance was evident as Himanshu Basoya clinched the Vice President's post, Shubham Choudhary was declared the new Secretary, and Sachin Baisla took charge as the Joint Secretary.

The DUSU elections, often considered a crucial barometer for national youth politics and a training ground for future leaders, attracted immense attention across the country.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, this election marked a vibrant return to campus political activities, with students actively participating in the democratic process.

The voting process, conducted using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), saw thousands of students casting their ballots amidst tight security arrangements.

Despite the peaceful conduct of the elections, the counting day was not without its moments of high drama and anticipation, particularly concerning the presidential outcome.

The results underscore the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of student politics in one of India's most prestigious universities.

With Aryan Mann at the helm of the DUSU, alongside a strong ABVP contingent holding key positions, the coming year promises an interesting blend of leadership and representation for the students of Delhi University.
