Dhaka: Awami League (AL) Advisory Council Member Tofail Ahmed on Saturday said he was confident that Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) would win the upcoming Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) election.

‘Dhaka University is an institution that produces leaders. The Ducsu leadership should be open to everyone,’ the former Ducsu vice-president said at a discussion on the DU campus marking BCL’s 71st founding anniversary, reports the UNB.

BCL is the student front of ruling Awami League.

‘The elected members [of Ducsu] will have to work for each and every student of the university,’ he said.

DU announced to hold election to its students’ union on March 11. The last election to Ducsu was held on July 6, 1990.

‘It is very good news that the election will be held. I hope the students will elect the best leadership,’ Tofail said, urging all universities and colleges to hold elections to their students’ unions.

Presided over by BCL President Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon, the student body’s General Secretary Golam Rabbani, its DU unit chief Sonjit Chandra Das and General Secretary Saddam Hussain, among others, spoke at the programme.
