The Jagannath University Central Students’ Union (JAKSU) election results from six of 39 centers were announced on Wednesday morning. According to the JAKSU Election Commission, Shibir-backed vice president candidate Riazul Islam is leading in five centers with a total of 585 votes, while Chhatra Dal-backed candidate A.K.M. Rakib leads in one center with 547 votes. The vote difference between the two VP candidates across the six centers stands at 38.

The results were declared at around 8:30 a.m. after a temporary suspension of vote counting the previous night due to a technical fault in the counting machine. The issue was resolved, and counting resumed after a long break. Detailed results from departments including Computer Science, Genetic Engineering, Geography, Anthropology, Public Administration, and Pharmacy show close competition between the two panels for VP, GS, and AGS posts.

The election process continues as results from the remaining 33 centers are yet to be published, leaving the final outcome still open.
