The ABVP has unveiled its candidates for the upcoming DUSU elections, fielding Yash Dabas for president, Ishu Maurya for vice-president, Rhea Chhawda for secretary, and Lakshay Raj Singh for joint secretary positions.

The slate reflects a mix of sporting accomplishment and academic pursuit. According to the party, the candidates bring experience across national and international athletic competitions while simultaneously pursuing their studies at the university.

The DUSU elections are scheduled for the 2026-27 academic year and are closely watched across Indian campuses as they often serve as a launchpad for student leaders. The contest typically sees multiple student organizations fielding candidates, with results reflecting shifting political dynamics among the student body.
