The
University
of
Ghana’s
Students’
Representative
Council
(SRC)
presidential
election
was
won
by
Ghanaian
musician
Maradona
Adjei
Yeboah,
well
known
as
Guru.
This
came
after
weeks
of
intense
campaigning
filled
with
legal
disputes,
disqualifications,
and
other
difficulties.
With
9,455
votes,
Guru
and
his
running
mate
Jeffrey
Adu-Yeboah
got
50.7%
of
the
votes
cast.
There
were
18,659
voters
in
the
elections.
See
the
results
below:
The
Appeals
Board
of
the
school
unanimously
overturned
his
exclusion
last
week,
which
was
based
on
the
fact
that
he
was
a
non-resident
student.
According
to
the
SRC,
Guru
and
the
other
contender
did
not
meet
the
requirements
needed
to
be
considered
for
the
role.
Following
a
court
battle,
the
judicial
board
ruled
that
the
disqualification’s
reasons
were
valid.
The
musician
is
therefore
not
eligible
to
run
for
office.
