Deepanshu Shokeen wins the vice-president seat in Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) for the 2026–27 term as an independent candidate, according to multiple outlets. He receives 30,615 votes, which is reported as the highest tally among the central panel winners, and defeats ABVP’s Ishu Maurya, who is reported to have received 16,910 votes.
The reports describe Shokeen as a Department of Buddhist Studies student from Peeragarhi. Several sources say he contests independently after being denied an NSUI ticket, after which he runs alone in the elections. One account also highlights that he had previously been associated with NSUI but later switched to independent candidature following the ticket denial. While some outlets focus on his personal background and campaign approach, others emphasize the vote margin and his status as the only independent winner in the DUSU polls.
