DHAKA, Aug 20, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) today announced its 27-member panel for the upcoming Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) election, scheduled for September 9.

The post of research and publication secretary has been kept vacant in honour of Sanjida Ahmed Tonni, a student injured on July 15 during the July Uprising.

For the remaining positions, Md Saif Ullah has been nominated for transport affairs secretary, Syed Imam Hasan Anik for social service secretary, Md Arkanul Islam Rupak for career development secretary, Anwar Hossain for health and environment secretary, and Md Mehedi Hasan Munna for human rights and law secretary.

Alongside this, JCD also revealed panels for Hall union polls.
