DUSU Election Results Live: What was Delhi high court mandate?

The Delhi High Court had instructed the university to ensure all defaced areas were restored and to submit a status report before proceeding with the vote count. The court had set a deadline of November 26 for the completion of counting. Delhi High Court had stalled the declaration of results until the defacement caused during the campaign was cleaned up. Although the university submitted a status report to the court, delays in the cleanup process forced further postponements, moving the results first to Nov 21 and now to Nov 25.

DUSU Election Results Live: Why the delay in results?

The delay is attributed to the ongoing efforts to address the widespread defacement caused during the election campaigns. Over 190 locations across the university were identified for clean-up. An inspection committee found that despite significant progress, several areas were still not fully cleaned, prompting the postponement.

The vote count for Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections commenced at North Campus on Monday, following a two-month delay after polling. The results, initially set for September 28, were postponed following a Delhi High Court directive that mandated cleaning of election campaign defacement before result declaration. The central panel positions have attracted twenty-one candidates in total. The presidential position has eight contenders, whilst five candidates are competing for vice-president, and four each for secretary and joint secretary roles. The primary organisations competing include the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Congress-supported National Students' Union of India (NSUI), and a Left coalition comprising the All India Students' Association (AISA) and Students' Federation of India (SFI). The presidential contest is anticipated to be competitive amongst ABVP's Rishabh Chaudhary, NSUI's Rounak Khatri, and AISA's Saavy Gupta. The vice-presidential candidates include ABVP's Bhanu Pratap Singh, NSUI's Yash Nandal, and AISA's Ayush Mondal. For secretary, ABVP's Mitravinda Karanwal competes against NSUI's Namrata Jeph Meena and SFI's Anamika K, whilst the joint secretary position sees ABVP's Aman Kapasia competing with NSUI's Lokesh Choudhary and SFI's Sneha Aggarwal. The RSS-affiliated ABVP presently dominates the student body, holding the positions of president, secretary, and joint secretary, whilst the Congress's student wing NSUI occupies the vice-president's position. The NSUI was leading in three posts of the Delhi University Students' Union elections, as the counting of votes is underway. NSUI's presidential candidate Rounak Khatri was leading after five rounds of counting with a total of 5,531 votes. Joint Secretary candidate Lokesh Choudhary was leading by 6,065 votes and secretary candidate Namrata Jeph Meena by 4,425 votes.
ABVP's Bhanu Pratap Singh was leading on the vice-president post by 6,101 votes.

The DUSU results, originally scheduled to be announced on September 28, a day after the elections, were delayed due to a Delhi High Court order.
