Mufti Syed Mohammad Faizul Karim of Islami Andolon Bangladesh declared that the Ducsu elections marked the decline of leftist and pro-India factions and the rise of Islamist student forces.

He argued that for decades Islamic voices were marginalized at Dhaka University, but this vote shifted the balance. Faizul reiterated his call for a proportional representation (PR) electoral system in Bangladesh to ensure fairness and prevent authoritarianism, vote-rigging, and violence.

He also hinted at a united Islamist front for future elections, while warning that the current administration cannot deliver free and fair polls without sweeping reforms.
