The Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) elections are knocking on the door. The candidates are busy with last-minute campaigning for this election, which is being held after a long time. The last day of the official campaign was yesterday (September 7). Sports Secretary candidate Muhaimenul Islam Taki has brought a big surprise today.
Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq wished Taqi well in a video message from faraway Pakistan. Taqi is contesting for the post of Sports Secretary from the Integrated Student Parliament Panel in this year’s DUCSU. He played in the Dhaka League. He has also participated in the National Spin Camp. He is contesting for the post of Sports Secretary with 12 others.
Wishing Taqi well in a video message, Misbah-ul-Haq said, “Assalamu Alaikum Taqi Bhai, I hope you are well. I wish you all the best. You are a very good cricketer and a good person. I hope you do very well on September 9. Everyone is with you. Many prayers from me for you. Be well, Insha Allah you will be successful.”
Meanwhile, Taki is in the news for the DUCSU elections. Earlier, at a press conference on Saturday (September 6), he questioned the impartiality of two Bangladesh national team cricketers, Towhid Hridoy and Tanjim Hasan Shakib.
At the beginning of the DUCSU elections, Towhid Hridoy and Tanjim Hasan Shakib sent congratulatory messages to a candidate named Zahin Hossain Jami, who was running for the post of Sports Secretary. Complaining about it, Taki said, “Two national team cricketers directly gave a message in favor of a specific candidate. As a player, they should have remained neutral. It is normal to have personal preferences, but it is inappropriate to give such open support during the election process.”
A total of 471 candidates are contesting in this year’s DUCSU elections. Of them, 62 are women and 409 are men. The total number of voters is 39,775. Political parties like Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, Islami Chhatra Shibir, Bamjote, Islami Chhatra Andolan, Ganotantrik Chhatra Sansad, Chhatra Odhikar Parishad have given their panels in this election. In addition, the number of independent candidates is also more than a few hundred. The voting will be held on September 9.
