The Vice President position went to the national students union of India (NSUI). This outcome again points out the stiff competition that exists in college politics in Delhi University.

These are the complete specifications of what has happened, how it was determined, the figures, and what it may imply in the future.

What Is DUSU and Why This Election Matters

• DUSU is Delhi University’s Students’ Union – a student organization which represents a very large number of colleges under DU. It has four main posts, including President, Vice President, Secretary, and Joint Secretary.
  
  
• These elections are closely watched — Such elections are keeping a close follow-up on- these are at times an indicator of how student politics replicates the broader political trends in India.
  
  
• Some of the important problems in 2025 were related to the safety on the campus, fee subsidies, halls, gender matters, transport (e.g. free metro pass offers), Wi-Fi, etc.
  
  
• The election was conducted in 52 centres and 195 booths in the Delhi University. More than 2.75 lakh (275,000) students were in a voting age. Turnout was about 39.4%.
  
  

The Winners & Their Margin

These are the findings of major posts in the DUSU Election 2025:

• President: Aryan Maan (ABVP) won by a big margin over Joslyn Nandita Choudhary (NSUI).
• Vice President: Rahul Jhansla of NSUI took that position defeating Govind Tanwar of ABVP.
• ABVP won the position of Secretary and Joint Secretary.

So, ABVP carried the day by 3 out of the 4 key positions; President, Secretary, Joint Secretary. NSUI won Vice President. 

Voter Turnout & Voting Details

• Actual votes cast: turnout of approximately 39.36%-39.45% (approximately 60,200+ votes).
• DUSU Election was held on September 18, 2025. The next day counting occurred.

Major Themes & What Helped ABVP Win

The factors explaining the high performance of ABVP this year:

• Strong campaign promises: Aryan Maan (President candidate) had headlines of fare concessions in metro, free campus Wi-Fi, accessibility audits, improved sports facilities etc.
  
  
• Organizational strength: The presence of ABVP in the campus, network, outreach, and visibility were mentioned as high.
• Although competitive, NSUI could allocate itself with the position of the Vice President. It indicates that although NSUI is still in the game, it is ABVP that has greater ground in DU this time round.

What are the Immediate Reactions

• ABVP leaders have shown appreciation and talked about campaign promises to do things concerning students.
• NSUI has also made allegations of ABVP having advantages in campaigning, great organizational support, and some reports stated that the forces were combined (in some cases) in favor of ABVP.
• A good number of students were concerned with the campus issues such as safety, infrastructure, and representation. These are likely to be critical areas to the new office holders of the DUSU.

What This Means Forward

• ABVP will rank first in DUSU where President Aryan Maan will serve the forthcoming 2025-26 term. This tenure will be closely followed by the performance - particularly on issues promised.
• NSUI has a Vice President, which balances to some extent there may be increased checks and debates in union decisions.
• The level of participation by the students was enhanced since they were more involved in turning out to vote than in the other past years.
• Politics in the campuses still resemble broad based political ideologies. Student unions are normally training grounds to the aspiring political leaders.
