ABVP wins 3 DUSU posts; independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen gets vice-president's position
ABVP won three of four central posts, while Deepanshu Shokeen won vice president with 30,615 votes after running as an Independent.
- On Saturday, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad won three of the four Delhi University Students' Union panel posts, with independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen securing the vice-president position after vote counting concluded.
- Voting concluded Friday across 52 polling centers with 40.46% turnout, the highest in three years, as campaigns centered on student housing and safety following the fatal September 6 Satya Niketan building collapse that killed seven people, including five students.

- The Congress-backed National Students' Union of India failed to win any central panel posts, prompting Union Minister Kiren Rijiju to describe the results as a 'very important and deeply symbolic' referendum reflecting the youth's voice.
- Secretary-Elect Riya Chhawdi, the panel's only woman, declared she will prioritize women's safety and campus security during her tenure, aiming to fulfill manifesto commitments on student welfare and dedicated support services.
