Voting at Tajuddin Hall, one of the 21 polling centres in Jahangirnagar University’s Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) election, resumed after a half-hour suspension, leaving voters waiting in long lines. The halt followed a brief incident when Sheikh Sadi Hasan, candidate for vice-president from the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal faction, attempted to enter the hall, triggering tensions among voters and polling agents. Professor Lutful Elahi, provost of Tajuddin Hall, confirmed the disruption around 11:45am and said voting resumed at 12:15pm once the situation was under control. Of the 947 registered voters at Tajuddin Hall, only around 350 had cast ballots by 2:30pm, forcing students to wait in long lines. Despite the brief interruption, polling continued across all 21 halls, reflecting a tense but largely orderly voting process in the university’s fiercely contested student union election.
