The teacher fielded four candidates, assigning them party symbols and giving them four days to campaign. Two students were appointed as presiding officers and a polling booth was set up to ensure a fair election. The students participated enthusiastically, casting votes by showing their ID cards and getting their fingers inked.
The candidate with the slogan "Samosa dabao Somesh jitao" won the election, and as promised, treated the class to samosas.
