ABVP Dominates DU Student Elections with Key Wins

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad secured president, secretary, and joint secretary posts by large vote margins, limiting the National Students' Union of India to vice-president.

  • The 2025 Delhi University Students' Union elections concluded with ABVP winning three of the four central panel posts, including president, secretary, and joint secretary.
  • The elections followed a history of competitive student politics, with NSUI making a comeback last year after seven years by winning the president and joint secretary posts, while left-wing alliances failed to secure any seats this year.
  • Aryan Mann from ABVP won the presidency by securing 28,821 votes, while his party colleague Kunal Choudhary was elected secretary with a total of 23,779 votes. Deepika Jha of ABVP secured the joint secretary position with 21,825 votes, and NSUI’s Rahul Jhansla overcame ABVP’s Govind Tanwar to claim the vice president’s role, earning 29,339 votes.
  • Voter turnout was 39.36%, involving 60,272 out of 1.53 lakh registered voters, and ABVP candidates were celebrated by their supporters amid muted victory festivities under heavy police deployment and a Delhi High Court order against disruptions.
  • These results reaffirmed ABVP's presence on campus amid NSUI's limited success and reflect ongoing student engagement in Delhi University's political landscape without definitive signals about broader youth political trends.
