On March 12, four DU students, who took part in the March 11 Ducsu and hall union polls as independent candidates, went on hunger strike bringing the allegation of ballot stuffing and vote rigging. They ended their hunger strike upon assurance by the authorities to make the Ducsu electoral process more transparent. Chhatra League-backed Sammilita Shikkharthi Parishad panel swept the Ducsu polls securing all the posts of its 25-member executive committee except the VP and social services secretary positions. In the 11 March Ducsu and hall union polls, Chhatra League, the student wing of Bangladesh Awami League, won the full panel in most of the halls and secured 23 posts in the central union. Bangladesh General Students' Rights Protection Council-backed candidate Nurul Haque Nur was elected Ducsu VP while Chhatra League panel-nominated Golam Rabbani won the general secretary post.
