SFI Sweeps Kerala University Union Elections in Thiruvananthapuram
SFI won 29 of 31 contested colleges in Thiruvananthapuram district, wresting four campuses from KSU, while polls at two colleges were postponed over nomination disputes.
The Students' Federation of India (SFI) has registered a decisive win in the Kerala University union elections across Thiruvananthapuram district, capturing 29 of the 31 colleges where polling was held. The result marks a significant shift in campus politics, with the SFI wresting control of four prominent colleges from the Kerala Students' Union (KSU).
The elections were not without friction. Voting at two colleges had to be postponed following disputes over nominations, triggering a tense standoff between the two sides. The delay underscores the charged atmosphere surrounding this year's union polls, even as the broader tally handed the SFI a commanding majority of the seats that went to the ballot.
The outcome consolidates the SFI's presence in the district's college campuses and represents a setback for the KSU, which lost ground in four institutions it had previously held. Details of the postponed polls and the resolution of the nomination disputes were not immediately available.
