The United Front of Left student groups AISA, SFI, AISF, DSF won all the four central panel posts in the Jawaharlal University Student Union election (JNUSU) polls. The results for the polls were finally announced hours after the Supreme Court granted them permission to release the results.

The Left-backed All India Students’ Association (AISA), Students’ Federation of India (SFI), Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF) and All India Students’ Federation (AISF) saw their vote share increasing to 50.15 per cent from 4 per cent last year.

The results of the election, held on September 6, were not declared as per schedule on September 8 as the High Court was to hear two petitions regarding the polls on Tuesday. The court disposed of both the petitions.

Keeping with the trends announced by the election committee earlier, Aishe Ghosh of the Students’ Federation of India, who contested under the broader united Left panel, was declared the president of the JNUSU.

Aishe Ghosh, the group’s candidate for the president’s post, got 2,313 votes and defeated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s Manish Jangid. An SFI candidate was elected to the president’s post after 13 years. The ABVP candidate won 1,128 votes.

The vice president’s seat was won by Saket Moon, who secured 3,365 votes, defeating ABVP’s Shruti Agnihotri by a margin of 2,030 votes. Satish Chandra Yadav was elected the general secretary of the students’ union after he bagged 2,518 votes to defeat Sabareesh PA, who received 1,355 votes.

Last year too, the united Left panel had won all four central panel posts.

A large number of students participated in the campus election so much so that the ground was full of voters. The voting timing in the campus was from morning 9 am to 5 pm.
