Political commentator Hasnat Abdullah expressed concern over the excessive influence of political parties in the DUCSU election.

He wrote:
“DUCSU has become less about student mandates and more about a game of national party extensions. This sets a negative precedent.”

Hasnat warned that such practices could erode democracy and called on all parties to respect voters’ decisions. He emphasized building a culture where defeat is accepted as part of democratic growth and urged political actors to prioritize people’s aspirations over party interests.
