By Nurin Qistina Nasir

GOMBAK, 11 November 2026: The AbdulHamid Abu Sulayman Kuliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences (AHAS KIRKHS) held its Student Election 2026 on 11 November 2026, from 9.00 AM to 5.00 PM, providing students with the opportunity to elect their representatives for the upcoming term.

The election saw 1382 students casting their votes, representing a voter turnout of 31.92% out of 4329 eligible voters. This recorded a decline from 53% in the previous election reflecting a decrease of 21.08 percentage points. 

Several challenges were identified as contributing factors to the decline, including the implementation of physical voting for the first time, limited campaign and engagement activities, student boycotts and venue limitations. These challenges presented difficulties in encouraging broader student participation throughout the election.
