Nurul says will take charge as DUCSU VP

Nurul Haque Nur, the quota reform movement leader who upset the Bangladesh Chhatra League candidate to become the vice-president of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU), says he will take office.

“We’re prioritising the students’ demands,” he told a press conference at the Madhu’s Canteen on the university campus on Friday afternoon.

Akhter Hossen, who won the social service affairs secretary’s post from Nurul’s panel, will also join the students’ body.

“We’ll officially take responsibilities as DUCSU representatives and work together with the general students for solving their problems,” the DUCSU VP-elect said.

The DUCSU polls, the first in 28 years, were marred by allegations of irregularities. All panels, except that of BCL, boycotted the election. The ruling party student front dominated the polls but lost the posts of VP and social service affairs secretary.
