After a hiatus of four years, Delhi University will hold the student union election on September 23, announced the varsity on Thursday.
Elections to the students’ body were last held in 2019. Students’ union elections could not be held in 2020 and 2021 because of Covid-19 and disruptions to the academic calendar prevented the elections in 2022.
Students’ groups have made several representations to varsity officials to demand the resumption of the election exercise as many elected representatives have left the university after completing their studies.
Student groups have welcomed the move.
In a notification issued on August 23, the university said that the student body and central council elections will be organised on September 23.
The last date for nomination papers is September 12, while the final list of the candidates will be published on September 13.
The university has also appointed a chief election officer to conduct elections in the university. (ANI)
