The JUCSU elections have descended into controversy as four panels, including BNP-backed Chhatra Dal, along with five independent candidates, announced a boycott.

Chhatra Dal was the first to withdraw, citing large-scale rigging, followed by Sampriti Oikya, Sangshoptok Parishad, and Swadhin Angikar Parishad. Allegations of malpractice have also prompted three BNP-leaning teachers to resign from election duties.

Demands are now mounting for the formation of a fresh election commission and a re-announcement of the polls.
