The Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections 2025 were held on 18 September 2025, with votes counted the next day. Students and campus watchers were especially interested this year, as issues like student welfare, safety, gender representation and facility improvements were key in campaigning.
Voter Turnout & Voting Details
Eligible voters: ~2.75 lakh students across DU colleges.
Polling centres: 52 centres; 195 booths.
Turnout: About 39.45% of students voted.
Key Winners: Who Won Which Post
Here are the results for the four main posts in DUSU 2025: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Joint Secretary.
So ABVP won 3 out of the 4 key positions; NSUI won the Vice President’s post.
Significance & What This Means
ABVP's dominance: The results reaffirm ABVP’s strong presence in DU’s student politics, gaining the President, Secretary and Joint Secretary posts.
NSUI’s foothold: NSUI managed to hold on to the Vice President post — showing that it still retains support among the student body.
Issues raised during the campaign: Campus safety (especially women’s safety), infrastructure & facilities, fee relief, and inclusivity were central themes.
Voter turnout: Though under 50%, the ~39-40% turnout suggests moderate interest. There is room for improvement, especially among postgraduate students.
Context & Trend: How This Compares to Past Years
Turnout increased compared to some previous years.
The competition continues to be mainly between ABVP and NSUI, with smaller parties/alliances (Left, etc.) present but less successful in winning top posts.
Reactions & Next Steps
Campus reactions: Mixed — celebrations from ABVP supporters, criticism or concern from opposition about issues like EVM use, fairness, representation.
What students expect: Implementation of promises regarding campus facilities, safety, possibly metro passes, better hostel amenities, etc.
Conclusion
The DUSU Election 2025 has delivered a clear message: ABVP continues to hold sway in Delhi University student politics, but NSUI’s win for Vice President shows that there’s still substantial competition. As the new office bearers step in, their performance on key student issues — safety, facilities, inclusivity — will be under keen watch.
