BNP leader Salauddin Ahmed has congratulated the winners of the DUCSU elections, acknowledging it as part of democratic tradition.
“Since elections were held after a long time, some irregularities did occur,” he noted.

On the impact of student politics on national elections, Ahmed said: “Many DUCSU leaders elected under major party banners later reached parliament. However, independent winners have not yet made it to the national stage.”

He also criticized media outlets for labeling candidates under the Sadiq Kayem–SM Farhad panel as “Shibir’s panel,” calling the reports misleading.
