JNU Student Elections See United Left Front Re-Emerge to Challenge ABVP

New Delhi, October 28, 2025 – The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) elections are heating up as candidates officially filed their nomination papers on Monday, with the election slated for November 4th. This year’s election sees a significant shift in the political landscape with the re-emergence of a unified Left front.

Following a split in the previous election, where the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) formed a separate Left-Ambedkarite panel, and the All India Students’ Association (AISA) partnered with the Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF) under the Left Unity banner, the two factions are now joining forces.

According to Aishe Ghosh, SFI Delhi secretary and former JNUSU president, the primary motivation for this reunification is to prevent the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the RSS, from gaining a foothold in the student union. “We see the imposition of RSS-ABVP ideology in universities across the country,” Ghosh stated, urging students to vote for a unified front.

While the SFI, AISA, and DSF have confirmed their alliance, details regarding their shared platform are expected to be announced soon.

Nomination papers will undergo scrutiny, with the official list of valid candidates to be released on Tuesday. Withdrawals are scheduled for Wednesday, with the final list of contenders announced at 2 p.m. The JNUSU election results are anticipated on November 6th.

This election marks a pivotal moment for JNU, as the Left attempts to reclaim its dominant position within the student body and counter what it perceives as the growing influence of the ABVP.
