The polling for the JNUSU elections was held on Friday, March 22, 2024. JNU will get its next students’ union after a gap of four years.

Nineteen candidates are in the fray eyeing the four central panel posts at JNU and 42 candidates for school counsellors.

With 1995 votes counted so far, ABVP’s Umesh Chandra Ajmeera is leading with 812 votes, followed by Unified Left candidate Dhananjay with 737 votes.

The post of vice president is seeing a tough fight between ABVP’s Deepika Sharma leading with 661 votes and the Unified Left’s Avijit Ghosh inching closer with 636 votes.

A similar trend is being observed in the posts of general secretary and joint secretary. ABVP candidates are closely followed by left candidates in these posts also.

Around 73 per cent cast their votes in the elections out of the total 7751 students registered.

The students’ union has four central panel positions, namely, President, Vice President, General Secretary, and Joint Secretary.

The last JNUSU election was won by left-wing student organisation, SFI’s candidate Aishe Ghosh in 2019.

The left students outfits had allied to contest in the 2019 polls under the banner The United-Left alliance which included a coalition of All India Students’ Association (AISA), Student Federation of India (SFI), Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF), and All India Students’ Federation (AISF).

The subsequent appeal by Trump’s legal team required posting a substantial $91.6 million bond to halt Carroll’s compensation during the appeals process. Trump vehemently refuted Carroll’s accusations as “false” and criticized the legal system for penalizing him for denying them. “Sometimes, it’s not good to be rich. I just posted a $91 million bond on a fake story. Totally made up story. Think of it, 91 million. I could say things about what it would cost normally.

Trump obtained the $91.6 million bond from insurer Chubb Ltd (NYSE: CB), signing the surety bond with Chubb’s Federal Insurance Co. last week.

According to a report by the Insurance Journal, Chubb said that “these bonds are an ordinary and important part of the American justice system, protecting the rights of both defendants and plaintiffs.” “For defendants, appeal bonds ensure the opportunity to exercise the right to appeal an adverse judgement, which might otherwise be lost in the absence of a bond,” the company added in a statement shared with the Insurance Journal. Last year, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing Carroll and was ordered to pay her $5 million in damages.
