The Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) election results were declared in a charged atmosphere as the Senate building premises echoed with slogans such as “Justice for Killer Hasina” and “Justice for Shahbagh.”
Similar chants had erupted during the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) election results announcement in the past.
After 33 years, the JUCSU election saw the Islami Chhatra Shibir-backed coalition “Combined Student Alliance” secure a majority of positions, including the General Secretary (GS) and two Assistant GS posts.
VP: Independent candidate Abdur Rashid (Jitu)
GS: Md. Mazharul Islam (Shibir-backed) – 3,930 votes
AGS (Male): Ferdous Al Hasan (Shibir-backed) – 2,358 votes
AGS (Female): Ayesha Siddika Meghla (Shibir-backed) – 3,402 votes
In total, the coalition won 20 posts, consolidating its influence in the long-anticipated student body polls.
