During the session, the committee finalized plans outlining the roles of representatives for the coming year. The names of the five students who will serve as senate members were also announced.

“It’s not about individual victory; DUCSU has been won by all of us,” said newly elected DUCSU Vice President Sadik Qayem.

The meeting took place on Sunday, September 14, in the office of the Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University. Newly elected Vice President Sadik Qayem and General Secretary SM Farhad, along with other members of the executive committee, attended the session.

After the meeting, Sadik Qayem told reporters that, similar to the election campaign, the committee will continue visiting students door-to-door. He added, “We did door-to-door visits even before the elections. We will continue reaching out to students in the same way.”

He also mentioned that within a short time, a one-year executive plan will be prepared for all members.
