Four additional student panels have announced their boycott of the Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) elections, bringing the total number of boycotting groups to six and casting doubt on the credibility of the upcoming electoral process. The decision comes amid ongoing concerns about election transparency and fairness.

The boycotting panels have cited multiple issues including alleged irregularities in the voter list, concerns about the neutrality of election administration, and questions about the overall electoral environment. Their withdrawal significantly reduces student representation in the election and raises questions about the legitimacy of whichever panel eventually wins.

University authorities have expressed disappointment over the developments while maintaining that the electoral process remains on schedule. The growing boycott movement reflects broader tensions within campus politics and highlights the challenges of conducting representative student union elections in the current academic environment.
