Ruhul Islam, a candidate from the Shibir-backed panel, narrowly defeated Igimi Chakma of the Sampriti Oikya panel to win the post of Drama Secretary in the Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) election.
Ruhul secured 1,929 votes, while Igimi received 1,928 votes — losing by just one vote in one of the tightest races of the election.
The razor-thin margin drew attention from students and election observers alike, highlighting the intense competition between panels in this year’s JUCSU polls.
From DUCSU to JUCSU: Shibir’s winning streak rolls on
Meanwhile, Islami Chhatra Shibir has tightened its grip on Bangladesh’s student politics, storming to a resounding victory in the Jahangirnagar University Central Student Union (JUCSU) elections.
Riding high on its earlier victory of Dhaka University’s DUCSU polls, the Shibir-backed ‘Coordinated Student Alliance’ clinched 20 out of 25 central council seats, leaving rival groups trailing far behind.
Although independent candidate Abdur Rashid Zitu won the Vice President (VP) post, Shibir-backed panel candidates secured the remaining key positions.
