Left Unity Sweeps 2025 JNU Students’ Union Elections, Reclaims All Four Top Posts

The sweep restores Left dominance at JNU following ABVP’s lone gain in 2024.

Overview

  • The AISASFI–DSF alliance defeated the RSS-affiliated ABVP across the central panel races.
  • Aditi Mishra won president, with K. Gopika as vice-president, Sunil Yadav as general secretary and Danish Ali as joint secretary.
  • Turnout reached 67% of 9,043 eligible voters, and close counts prolonged the declaration into Thursday evening, with a minor scuffle during counting contained by campus security.
  • Races featured contrasting margins, with a razor-thin finish for general secretary and a lopsided vice-president win, yet the overall outcome was a clean sweep.
  • Left groups also secured a majority of councillor seats, positioning the new union to drive student welfare, facilities and campus autonomy priorities.
