DHAKA, Sept 19, 2025 (BSS) – Prof. Mohammad Jahsim Uddin, the Chief Election Commissioner of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU), today said some vested quarters are disseminating misinformation about the already held DUCSU elections.

Some online activists and social media groups are trying to mislead people and students by circulating fake and mythic information regarding DUCSU and Hall Union elections, a press release signed by the DUCSU CEC reads.

He, however, thanked all parties for the successful 2025 DUCSU and Hall Union elections held on September 9 in a joyful, fair and enthusiastic atmosphere. 

The election was widely praised as free, fair, and credible. Many acknowledged it as a rare and historic event in the country’s electoral history, the press release added.

The CEC said the election commission received complaints about some isolated incidents and explained them.

Otherwise, the election was largely free, fair and participatory, he said.
The press release, however, decried that such mythic information is certainly causing degradation of the university. 

Prof Jashim requested all to rely on verified claims.
