Abidul Islam Khan, joint secretary of the Dhaka University unit of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), has said that allegations surrounding the recent Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) election must be addressed by the administration and Election Commission.

“If they fail to ensure proper accountability, there is every possibility of a fresh election—and we will fight for it,” Abid declared.

He pointed out that unlike in past years, JCD refrained from violent protests after the results, choosing instead to remain patient. “We have tried to introduce a new political culture in Bangladesh’s student politics,” he said, though he criticized what he called a “web of manipulation” during the voting process.

Abid concluded that the outcome should not be seen as a defeat, but as a sign that an “invisible political force” is asserting dominance across universities.
