JNUSU Election Results 2024: Amid cheers and slogans, students at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) voted in large numbers in the students’ union elections on Friday, taking the polling percentage to around 73 per cent. Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) Election results 2024 will be declared today, March 24, 2024, at 9:00 PM. Polling for the four-member central panel and other posts was done on Friday. A total of 19 candidates vying for the four central panel posts of JNUSU and 42 candidates for school councillors, with seven candidates eyeing the post of the president alone.
As per the news agency PTI report, the results for the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union election will be announced at 9:00 PM on Sunday. The results will be announced by the election committee of the varsity. The central panel constitutes the posts of President, Vice President, Joint Secretary, and General Secretary. Currently, the counting of votes is underway with trends betraying no clear winners, PTI reported.
In the 2019 polls, the united front of Left student organisations SFI, AISA, AISF, and DSF swept the JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU) polls, with Aishe Ghosh elected as president, defeating arch-rival RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. From the United Left alliance, Dhananjay from the All India Students Association (AISA), Avijit Ghosh from the Students Federation of India (SFI), and Md Sajid from All India Students Federation (AISF) are headed for a win in the central panel.
The candidature of the Left’s fourth contender for the central panel, Swati Singh, was cancelled by the election committee hours before the polling. She has been on a hunger strike for over 32 hours now demanding re-nomination and re-election for the post of JNUSU general secretary.
“I have been forced to start peaceful agitation through an indefinite hunger strike starting from today, in order to protect the #JNUSUelection process from arbitrary and unjust precedences as well as unwarranted administrative interference! with the following demands: Immediate convening of an all-organisation meeting by the JNUSU EC to discuss the Cancellation of my Nomination. (2) Cancellation of today’s election for the post of General Secretary and announcement of Re-Election and Re-Nomination for the post of General Secretary, JNUSU,” reads her tweet.
From RSS-backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Umesh Chandra Ajmeera, Deepika Sharma, Arjun Anand, and Govind Daangi are in the race for the central panel. Congress-affiliated NSUI’s Junaid Raza and Farheen Zaidi, along with BAPSA’s Biswajit Minji, MD Anas A, Priyanshi Arya and Rupak Kumar Singh are also potential contenders to form the next students union. The last JNUSU results, for the polls held in 2019, were not notified by the university administration, and hence the recognition of the United Left which swept the polls is a contested topic among students.
