The Story in Brief
Delhi University has appointed Raj Kishore Sharma of the Chemistry Department as chief election officer and University Librarian Rajesh Singh as chief returning officer for the 2026-27 Delhi University Students’ Union elections. The appointments, made by Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh under the DUSU Constitution, take effect immediately and will continue until further orders.
The university has also named college principals and heads of affiliated institutions as election officers for local polls. The Times of India reports that a detailed schedule will be issued separately, while the Hindustan Times says the elections are expected in September. Dates for nominations, withdrawals, polling and counting have not been announced.
The Indian Opinion
The appointment is an administrative step, not evidence that any student group has gained an advantage. Claims that the poll is already fixed, or that its importance can be judged only by clashes between ABVP, NSUI, SFI and AISA, would run ahead of the facts. The useful test is whether Delhi University publishes a clear timetable and applies the same rules to every candidate and college.
