Left bastion of JNUSU remains intact, YFE has major gains

New Delhi, Nov 10 (UNI) The AISF-SFI combine today once again emerged as the biggest block, bagging 10 council seats in the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union elections.

The counting started at 2100 hrs yesterday and the last results came in by this evening.

The alliance has retained the convenorship in the School of Social Sciences(SSS)and the School of International Studies(SIS) by winning three out of the five councillor seats in each of them. The three winning candidates from the platform in SSS were Sejuti, Vinod Raja, and Roshan while Sucheta Dey won from the AISA. There was a tie for the fifth position between the AISA and the AISF-SFI for which repoll will take place at a later date.

It seems this was also the year of ties as the same phenomenon got replicated in the SIS where there was a similar tie for the fifth place while the remaining three fell in the kitty of AISF-SFI. The fourth place was won by the ABVP candidate.

In the School of Languages (SL) two seats out of five were retained by the AISF-SFI while the AISA, ABVP and the NSUI got one each. It is being widely believed that the Left will retain the convenorship by one supporting the other.

The surprise this time was the Youth For Equality which swept the Science Schools. They got all the three seats in the School of Environmental Sciences, School of Life Sciences, while getting one out of the three seats in the School of Computer Sciences. The other winner being an independent candidate.

In the smaller schools having one councillor each, the AISF-SFI, ABVP cornered two and one seats respectively, while three independent candidates have won.

In the Union having a total strength of 30 councillors AISF-SFI has emerged the biggest block with 10 councillors followed by YFE with seven. The ABVP, AISA and NSUI have four, two and one seats respectively, while independents account for four seats. Repoll will take place for two seats for which there is a tie.

Counting for the central panel candidates is still on. The results are expected earliest by late night or tomorrow morning.
