Shibir sweeps Cucsu polls; wins 24 of 26 posts

In the Chittagong University Central Students’ Union (CUCSU) election, candidates from the Islami Chhatra Shibir panel won 24 out of 26 posts.

A candidate from the Chhatra Dal panel secured one post, while another post was claimed by a candidate from the Binirman Shikkharthi Oikko (Student Unity) panel.

With this victory, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami continues its winning streak, maintaining dominance in the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) and Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (Jucsu) elections.

Chhatra Dal, however, ended its dry spell by winning one post, as none of its candidates secured victories in Ducsu or Jucsu this year.

For the Vice President (VP) post, Ibrahim Hossain Roni of the Shibir-backed Shompriti Shikkharthi Jot panel won with 7,983 votes, while Sayed Bin Habib took the general secretary (GS) position with 8,031 votes.

Their Chhatra Dal rivals, VP candidate Sajjad Hossain Hriday and GS candidate Shafayat Hossain, received 4,374 and 2,724 votes, respectively.

The Shibir panel lost only the assistant GS and assistant sports and games secretary posts. Ayubur Rahman Towfique of Chhatra Dal won the AGS position with 7,014 votes, defeating Shibir’s Sajjat Hossain Munna, who received 5,045 votes.

Meanwhile, Tamanna Mahfuz Smriti of the Binirman Shikkharthi Oikko panel secured the assistant sports and games secretary post.

The results were officially announced by Professor Monir Uddin, chief election commissioner of Cucsu, at the Faculty of Business auditorium around 4:45am on Wednesday, following the conclusion of voting.
