The United Left alliance of the Students' Federation of India (SFI), All India Students Association (AISA), All India Students Federation (AISF), and Democratic Students Federation (DSF) has won the JNU Students Union (JNUSU) Elections 2018-19 by some of the highest ever margins in JNU's history.

The ABVP, which has been trying, hand-in-glove with the RSS-backed administration, to destroy the University, and which indulged in brazen violence during the election process in an attempt to stall it, has been resoundingly defeated.
N Sai Balaji, who has been elected President, won by a lead of 1179 votes.
Aejaz Ahmad Rather, who has been elected General Secretary, won with a lead of 1300 votes.
