New Delhi: The counting of votes for the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections began today at a community hall near Kingsway Camp in New Delhi amid tight security.
The main contestants for the DUSU presidential post are ABVP's Rajat Choudhary, NSUI's Rocky Tusheed, AISA's Parul Chauha, independent candidates Raja Choudury and Alka.
At 11.30 am, the fifth round of counting out of an expected 16 rounds was underway. The process is being video- recorded.
There were 126 ballot boxes for the DUSU panel and eight were taken for counting in each round.

A total of 43 per cent turnout was recorded in the DUSU elections held yesterday.
