The Shibir-backed panel “Combined Student Alliance” has submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission, outlining seven demands for the upcoming RUCSU hall parliament and senate student representative polls.
Their key demands include:
Use of error-free OMR machines for vote counting, with manual checks allowed upon complaints.
Installation of CCTV cameras at polling centers.
Full access and facilities for polling agents.
Special ID cards for journalists.
Restriction of public entry to campus on election day.
Assurance of complete neutrality from the Election Commission.
Panel VP candidate Mostakur Rahman Zahid accused Chhatra Dal of repeatedly violating the electoral code of conduct by campaigning in classrooms and hiring janitors for promotional activities.
He also criticized the Nationalist Teachers’ Forum for submitting demands on behalf of Chhatra Dal, saying, “It is unprofessional for a mother organization to intervene in student politics.”
