Newly elected VP Sadiq Kayem dedicated his victory to the students of Dhaka University, saying:
“There is no winner or loser here—only the July generation and DU students have triumphed. I will safeguard this mandate with full responsibility, not as VP but as a brother.”

Kayem promised to:

Build DU into a complete academic institution

Ensure a safe campus for women

Unite students of all ideologies for progress

He called on all candidates to act as advisors, stressing that the fight for democracy that began with the July Movement would continue from Dhaka University.
