JNUSU Elections Result: AISA, SFI, and DSF Win All Central Panel Posts at JNU
AISA, SFI, and DSF dominate all central panel posts.
The Left Unity made a stunning comeback at Jawaharlal Nehru University, winning all four central panel positions in the JNUSU elections and reclaiming campus dominance. AISA’s Aditi Mishra emerged as President with 1,861 votes, defeating ABVP’s Vikas Patel, who secured 1,488 votes. This clean sweep restores the Left’s long-standing influence, which had been briefly interrupted when the ABVP won the joint secretary’s post last year.
Vice President K Gopika Babu of SFI also recorded a decisive victory with 3,101 votes, far ahead of ABVP’s Tanya Kumari, who polled 1,787 votes. Adarsh M Saji, President of the Students’ Federation of India, celebrated the Left’s resurgence, calling the win a major achievement for the progressive movement on campus. “This sweeping victory reflects the Left Unity’s enduring strength and commitment to student rights,” he said.
In the tightly contested posts of general secretary and joint secretary, Left Unity candidates continued their dominance. Sunil Yadav secured the General Secretary position with 2,005 votes, narrowly beating ABVP’s Rajeshwar Kant Dubey at 1,901 votes, while Danish Ali triumphed as Joint Secretary with 2,083 votes over ABVP’s Anuj Damara, who received 1,797 votes. The results mark a reaffirmation of the Left’s political character on campus.

Amid the Left’s victory, a notable win came from Komal Devi of BAPSA, who clinched the School of Social Sciences Councillor seat. This victory ends an 11-year drought for the Ambedkarite student group, signaling a revival of politics focused on social justice and representation for marginalized communities. Devi’s win is being hailed as a major step in reasserting Ambedkarite thought within JNU.
Komal Devi said, “This victory is more than an election—it symbolizes the revival of Ambedkarite principles of equality and dignity.” BAPSA’s official statement echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the win represents a reclaiming of student spaces and voices, rejecting tokenism and asserting autonomy. The JNU campus, now firmly under Left influence, is witnessing a renewed wave of activism, resistance, and progressive politics.
