For context, the ABVP won three of the four central panel posts in the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections on Saturday, but an Independent candidate, former NSUI member Deepanshu Shokeen, upset the contest for vice-president's chair, winning by more than 13, 000 votes.

Yash Dabas won the president's chair, Riya Chhawdi was elected secretary and Lakshya Raj Singh won the joint secretary's chair. Shokeen, who contested as an Independent after not receiving an NSUI ticket, polled 30, 615 votes to defeat ABVP's Ishu Maurya. This person secured 16, 910 votes.

For now, ABVP wins 3 of 4 DUSU posts, Independent Shokeen takes VP remains the part of the story worth watching, and further updates are likely as more details are confirmed.
