The Election Commission began formally announcing results for the Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) and hall union elections after 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Voting had taken place from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, and counting started around 10:15 p.m. that night. The manual vote-counting process contributed to delays in publication of results.
The elections faced a boycott by four panels, including Chhatra Dal, and five independent candidates. Allegations of an uneven playing field and irregularities prompted the resignation of four BNP-affiliated faculty members, including one election commissioner.
