Thenjipalam: In a glorious victory after almost eight years, the United Democratic Students’ Front (UDSF), an alliance of the Kerala Students Union (KSU) and Muslim Students Federation (MSF), won five out of eight general seats in the Calicut University union elections.

The winners are Nidhin Fathima P (Chairperson, Government Victoria College, Palakkad), Mohammed Safwan (General Secretary), Arshad P K (Vice Chairman), Shabna K T ( Vice Chairperson) and Ashwin Nath K P (Joint Secretary).

The UDSF won the seats in the Malappuram and Kozhikode districts. SFI won three seats putting up a decent show in Thrissur, Palkkad and Wayanad districts.      

The UDSF lost the Palakkad seat by a margin of just 3 votes, that too in recounting.
