The vote counting of the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) Election 2026 will begin shortly. Candidates must follow the live for time-to-time updates.

One of the major demand of students is to have safe and affordable hostels along with affordable food and transport accessibility.

ABVP has won all four key posts at Aditi Mahavidyalaya, Sri Aurobindo College (Morning), Dr BR Ambedkar College, Bharati College and Shivaji College. At Ramjas College, ABVP candidates won the posts of President, Secretary, Central Councillor and Internal Complaints Committee. 

The Students' Federation of India (SFI) has also secured posts in the college-level elections. SFI won the Joint Secretary post at Zakir Husain College and the President post at Bhaskaracharya College.

These college-specific results should not be confused with the DUSU results, which will cover the university-level posts of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Joint Secretary. Counting for DUSU is scheduled for September 19.

The results of student union elections at several Delhi University colleges have started emerging, with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) securing multiple posts across campuses. These results are specific to individual colleges and are not the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) election results.

Several former DUSU presidents later entered mainstream politics. Arun Jaitley served as DUSU president in 1974, Vijay Goel in 1977, Ajay Maken in 1985, and Alka Lamba in 1995 before holding prominent political positions.

Delhi University has 91 colleges across its North and South campuses, but only 52 colleges and faculties directly participate in the DUSU elections. St Stephen's College, Lady Shri Ram College, and Jesus and Mary College are among those excluded from the electoral process.

The Delhi High Court has barred victory processions after the DUSU election results are declared. Delhi University prepares to announce the results of one of the country's biggest student elections.
