DUSU Election 2025: The Delhi University Students' Union election results were announced on Friday, with RSS-backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) securing 3 seats in the central committee- President, Secretary and Joint Secretary. The Congress-backed NSUI won just a single seat of Vice-President.
ABVP’s Aryan Maan (28,841 votes) won the DUSU President post, defeating NSUI’s Joslyn Nandita Choudhary (12,645 votes). Maan’s campaigning during the election time was widespread, with even Sanjay Dutta joining the bandwagon in his own unique way. In an Instagram video, Dutt called him his “nephew” and appealed to students to vote for him.
