The total vote tally of the coalition of left parties Students Federation of India (SFI) and the All India Students Association (AISA) barely crossed the None of the Above, or NOTA, option in the DUSU polls . The combined tally of the coalitions four candidates was 20,827 votes, just 79 votes more than the 20,748 votes polled for NOTA. While AISAs presidential candidate Savy Gupta secured 3,906 votes, NOTA outdid her with 4,411 votes. In the race for vice president, the coalitions Ayush Mondal received 3,650 votes, again falling short of NOTAs 4,411 votes. There were two exceptions though. The coalitions joint secretary candidate Sneha Aggarwal got 8,806 votes, significantly higher than NOTAs 6,771 votes. For the secretary post, Anamika K received 5,676 votes, narrowly edging out NOTAs 5,660 votes. This year, the Left backed outfits fought the polls on a 2-2 seat sharing arrangement. The results highlight the challenges faced by the Left coalition in gaining traction among Delhi University students, though it has a stronghold in the Jawaharlal Nehru University, another central university in Delhi. Last year, AISAs presidential candidate Aiyesha Ahmad Khan stood third with 3,335 votes. In the case of vice-presidents post, Anushka Chaudhary of AISA received 3,492 votes. SFIs Aditi Tyagi who contested for the post of secretary, secured 5,150 votes, while for joint secretary post, AISAs Anjali Kumar got 4,786 votes.
