The Left Unity has reclaimed dominance in the Jawaharlal Nehru University students’ union (JNUSU) election, sweeping all four central panel positions, results said on Thursday. This comes after six months after the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), in April, marked its first victory in JNUSU polls in a decade by securing the post of joint secretary.

The Left alliance, comprising the All India Students’ Association (AISA), Students’ Federation of India (SFI) and Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF) swept the polls, reaffirming the Left's long standing dominance on the campus.

Aditi Mishra from AISA, who had contested for the post of president, defeated ABVP’s Vikas Patel by a margin of 449 votes. Mishra received 1,937 votes, against Patel’s 1,488 votes.

Mishra, who is from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, is a PhD scholar at the Centre for Comparative Politics and Political Theory (CCPPT) at the School of International Studies (SIS). Her research topic is ‘Gendered violence and the means in which women of Uttar Pradesh have been mounting a resistance to it since 2012.’
