After 28 years, Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu) and hall union elections were held on Monday, March 11. In the Ducsu polls quota reform movement leader Nurul Haq Nur was elected vice president, Bangladesh Chhatra League General Secretary Golam Rabbani won the post of general secretary, and Saddam Hussain was elected as the assistant general secretary. The polls reportedly stopped being held frequently as successive university administrations and governments attempted to maintain their dominance on the DU campus. University authorities have repeatedly reneged on their promise to hold the election since Ducsu was formally dissolved on May 28, 1998.
