Proceedings were informally suspended early on Monday after the returning officer was allegedly subjected to “obstruction, intimidation, and unwarranted hostility by a number of representatives”, a notice said.
In a statement, Mr Abaraonye claimed the count had been halted because electoral officials believed “no legitimate and true result could be reached as a result of procedural failures”.
“We unequivocally deny that any representative appointed by George engaged in intimidating or disruptive behaviour,” his statement stated.
It said the “extremely serious issues” had been referred to the disciplinary committee on Monday afternoon and that Mr Abaraonye remained president-elect.
“George is proud and thankful to have the support of well in excess of a majority of students at Oxford, who voted to have a safe election and resist attempts to subvert democracy,” his statement added.
The society said if allegations or complaints are lodged the result shall be pending their determination.
Opponents have said any failure to remove him would “signal to the world that the Oxford Union has chosen ideology over integrity”.
