In the lead-up to the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections, which are scheduled for September 27, the university campus is covered with party posters, stickers, and pamphlets on roads, walls, and poles. The student wings have begun their preparations and launched campaigns across the DU campus. As the countdown to the student elections intensifies, the campus is abuzz with election fever. Some student parties are still setting their agendas, while others have already released their manifestos and are finalising their lists of candidates for the upcoming elections.

DUSU is the representative body for students from most of the university's colleges and faculties. In addition, each college conducts its own student union elections. Citing the election, the ruling Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has launched a universityspecific bus service at Delhi University's North Campus, fulfilling a major election promise made by the student union.
