Cucsu polls: ‘Voice of CU’ panel announced without VP, GS, AGS candidates
The candidates were selected from students without political affiliations, based on their honesty and competence
A group of students at the University of Chittagong (CU) have announced an independent panel named "Voice of CU" for the upcoming Chittagong University Central Students' Union (Cucsu) elections.
However, the panel excludes candidates for the posts of vice president (VP), general secretary (GS), and assistant general secretary (AGS).
"In most student union elections, the top three positions get disproportionate attention, but in reality it is the secretaries who work most closely with students. That's why we decided not to field candidates for those posts," said Shafiul Islam Safi, the panel's candidate for liberation war and democratic movements affairs secretary.
