The Story in Brief
Delhi University has appointed Chemistry department faculty member Raj Kishore Sharma as chief election officer and University Librarian Rajesh Singh as chief returning officer for the 2026-27 Delhi University Students’ Union elections. The appointments, notified on Wednesday, take effect immediately and will continue until further orders. The university expects the polls to be held in September.
The Vice-Chancellor also appointed affiliated college principals and heads of institutions as election officers for contests in their respective colleges. The annual polls draw participation from organisations including ABVP, NSUI, SFI and AISA. Delhi University is expected to announce dates for nominations, withdrawals, polling and counting later.
The Indian Opinion
DUSU elections often attract exaggerated claims that they are either a simple campus ritual or a national political contest in disguise. Both views miss the practical issue. The credibility of the process will depend on equal enforcement of rules, transparent nomination scrutiny and a clear response to complaints. The university should publish the full schedule promptly and report turnout, rejected nominations and complaints after polling. Those figures will show whether the election was genuinely competitive, not merely noisy.
