✨ A Spark of Anticipation: The Story of Daksu Election Preparations and Suspense

🌟 Daksu Election at Dhaka University: BNP Student Wing’s Preparation and Rising Tensions 🌟

As the long-awaited Daksu election at Dhaka University (DU) approaches, the campus atmosphere is heating up with excitement, uncertainty, and political maneuvering. On the final day for nomination paper collection (August 18, 2025), leaders of the BNP’s student front either personally collected forms or sent representatives—signaling their readiness and determination to contest.

Among the notable names, Abidul Islam Khan has collected the nomination form for the Vice President (VP) post, clearly positioning himself as a frontrunner from the BNP camp. Other potential candidates include Sheikh Tanvir Bari Hamim, Tanvir Al-Hadi Maied, Mehedi Hasan, Ayaz Mohammad Iman, Mallik Wasi Uddin Tami, Saif Ullah Saif, and Abidur Rahman Mishu—all eyeing positions like GS, AGS, and other key posts.

One statement that drew attention was: “Everyone must keep nomination forms ready.” This reflects a broad preparation strategy by the BNP student wing, which is expected to announce its final panel either by August 19 or even the same night.

Historically, this election holds profound significance. In the 53 years since Bangladesh’s independence, the Daksu election has been held only 8 times. Yet, over its 100+ years of legacy, DU has hosted 37 elections in total—most of them during the British and Pakistan eras.

Thus, the upcoming 2025 election is not just about student leadership—it is about safeguarding democratic values, student rights, and campus traditions.
