Ghanaian musician Maradona Adjei Yeboah, popularly known as Guru, has won the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) presidential election at the University of Ghana.
The musician secured 50.7% with 9,455 votes of the valid votes cast.
A total of 18,659 students participated in the election.
He was earlier disqualified from contesting on grounds that he was a non-resident student.
But the school’s Appeals Board unanimously overturned his disqualification.
The Vice Dean instructed that the names of the two candidates and their respective running mates be included in the list of presidential candidates.
“You are further directed to carry out the balloting for all the SRC candidates vetted by the vetting committee on Monday (September 16, 2024), between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon at the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs (ODSA).”
“You are to immediately communicate this to all the candidates to assemble at the premises of the ODSA for the balloting,“ the September 15 letter read.
It further directed the school’s Electoral Commission to provide the list of candidates and their positions to the University of Ghana’s Computer Services (UGCS) after balloting.
