Guru wins University of Ghana SRC election

Ghanaian musician, Maradona Adjei Yeboah, alias Guru, has emerged winner in the University of Ghana Students’ Representative Council (SRC) presidential election.

Guru and his running mate, Jeffrey Adu-Yeboah secured 9,455 votes out of the total cast votes of 18,659 which gave them 50 percent votes. from 5.3% in the election that was held on Wednesday to 7%.

His close contender, Emmanuel Owusu Amponsah with a running mate, Lawrence Edinam Egleh garnered 6, 645 votes, which was 35%. This was a fraction of the total votes cast representing 6% of the total votes cast.

Earlier in the week the University Electoral Commission had disqualified the musician from the race for being a non resident student.

In the case, the Commission relied on Article 30 under which the candidate has to be a campus resident, among other things, and have to meet the requirements for the contestation of a JCR position in the hall.

The disqualification was however returned by the Appeals Board after a petition thus allowing him to or contest.

Thanks to the Guru-led administration, the affairs of the SRC for the 2024/25 academic year will be run.
