Colourful posters, pamphlets and hoardings have livened up Delhi University, which is getting ready to hold students' union elections after a gap of four years.

From tea stalls to autorickshaws, Delhi University Students' Union election banners can be seen everywhere around college campuses.

While senior students can be seen discussing their election manifestos, candidates and campaign planning in every corner, freshers are giddy with the excitement of witnessing their first-ever students' union election.

''Everyone is excited. The candidates are going to every group to convince them of their ideology and manifesto,'' first-year student Sakshi told PTI.

The probable candidates have been visiting classes and also noting the problems the students are facing, she added.

The Sudama tea stall near the north campus has turned into a hub of election discussions, with the candidates distributed tea and announced their policies to the students.

In a bid to make the elections more interesting for the freshers, the candidates have also been organising games, poetry and comedy events on the campuses. The students are also being invited to attend meetings and rallies after classes.

The Delhi University will go to the polls on September 22, after a gap of four years. The elections were last held in 2019.

The students' union elections could not be held in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 while possible disruptions to the academic calendar prevented their conduct in 2022.
