UNB, Rajshahi: The long-awaited Rajshahi University Central Students' Union (RUCSU) and hall sangsad elections, previously scheduled for September 25, will now be held on October 16.
The decision was taken at an emergency meeting held on Monday, according to a press release signed by Chief Election Commissioner Professor F. Nazrul Islam.
The release said that the current situation at Rajshahi University is not conducive to holding the RUCSU elections.
Due to the ongoing 'Complete Shutdown' announced by the university’s teachers, officials, and employees, the participation of the required number of personnel needed to carry out election duties could not be ensured.
In the interest of conducting the RUCSU elections in a festive, participatory, and fair manner, the Election Commission has unanimously decided to reschedule the polls for Thursday, October 16, 2025, instead of the previously announced date.
