As per the results declared early on Thursday, 6 December, JD(U)’s Mohit Prakash won the post of president while ABVP's Anjana Singh was elected the vice-president.
The posts of the Chief Secretary and Joint Secretary went to ABVP's Manikant Mani and Raja Ravi respectively, and JD(U)’s Kumar Satyam was elected the Treasurer, the report said.
A ruckus was created by those supporting the contesting candidates in PUSU elections over a reported delay in announcing the results, it said.
Hundreds of students shouted slogans in protest as there was a delay in bringing the ballot boxes from all the polling booths to the main counting centre.
According to the report, around 20,000 voters cast their votes in the PUSU elections.
A voter turnout of 58.5 percent was recorded during the PUSU elections, with the highest polling percentage (84 percent) being recorded from the College of Arts.
