No rule to go for Ducsu reelection: VC Akhtaruzzaman

Dhaka University Vice-chancellor Prof Md Akhtaruzzaman on Wednesday said the demand of students to go for reelection to DU Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) is not possible as there is no rule to this end.

“Students came to my office with their demand. I listened to it. But it’s not possible to meet their demand as there’s no rule or system in university regulations for reelection,” he said.

The DU vice-chancellor was responding to queries from reporters in front of his office.

On the election day, instant actions were taken in case of any irregularity, he said referring to the Kuwait Maitree Hall incident where sealed ballot papers were recovered before the voting started on March 11. 

Earlier in the day, newly elected Ducsu Vice-president Nurul Haq Nur demanded fresh election by March 31.

Besides, members of various panels, who boycotted Monday's Ducsu elections, have given the authorities three days to announce fresh polls schedule and submitted a memorandum to the VC office in this regard.
