DUSU Vice President candidate Sadiq Kayem has alleged serious irregularities in polling centers and warned that attempts to destabilize the campus would be met with consequences harsher than those faced by Sheikh Hasina.

“At ULAB Center, polling agents and observers were barred for over two and a half hours,” Sadiq said. “Reports of manipulation have also surfaced at Ekushey Hall and TSC centers. Those trying to derail the election must be arrested immediately. A free and fair DUSU election is the dream of our martyrs.”

He criticized the DU JCD president’s behavior toward the Vice Chancellor, calling it disrespectful. GS candidate Forhad also condemned the politicization of the election, saying, “DUSU is for students, not a rehearsal ground for national political parties.”
