The Jagannath University Central Students’ Union (JnUCSU) and Hall Parliament elections 2025 are going to be held on December 30, 2025 for the first time since its establishment. The official campaigning for the elections began on December 15.

A festive atmosphere was seen in the election campaign, and the candidates made various promises to the students seeking votes for their panels. According to university sources, more than fifty independent candidates are contesting in a total of four panels and various positions.

Among the panels, candidates are contesting in the Central Parliament under the ‘Maulana Bhashani Brigade’, ‘Oikyabuddha Nirbhik Jabian’, ‘Oikyabuddha Zabian’ and ‘Adomya Jabian Oikya’ panels, and in the Hall Parliament under the ‘Rokeya Parshad’.

There are also independent candidates for various positions.
According to the final list published by the Election Commission on December 11, 156 people are contesting for 21 posts of the Central Parliament. The number of voters in the JnUCSU elections is 16,725.

Meanwhile, according to the schedule announced on November 5, the JnUCSU elections were supposed to be held on December 22. However, due to the earthquake scare, a holiday was decided from November 23 to 27 and online classes from November 30 to December 4 on the demand of students and the panel.

As a result, the university administration announced a new schedule on December 4. According to this schedule, the election campaign will continue for 13 days from December 15 to 27. Voting will be held on December 30 and the counting of votes and results will be announced on December 30 or 31.
