Guru promises to enhance student experience after SRC win in an official statement of appreciation
Ghanaian musician, Maradona Adjei Yeboah, widely known as Guru, has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his supporters following his victory in the University of Ghana Students’ Representative Council (SRC) presidential election. Alongside his running mate, Jeffrey Adu-Yeboah, they pulled 9,455 votes out of 18,659, which accounts for an impressive 50.7% of the total votes cast during the election held on Wednesday. It was a hard-fought battle as they faced stiff competition from Emmanuel Owusu Amponsah and Lawrence Edinam Egleh, who secured 6,645 votes, representing 35.6% of the votes.
In their official statement, the winning team expressed overwhelming joy, humility, and gratitude for the unwavering support they received. The journey to victory was not without obstacles, as they had to overcome disqualification and subsequently appeal the decision. Their legal team, consisting of Gideon Agyapong (Lead Counsel), Murdock Yeboah (Co-Counsel), and Emmanuel Hanson (Co-Counsel), played a pivotal role in ensuring their successful appeal.
The team attributed their success to the continuous support, guidance, and trust bestowed upon them by their supporters. They also acknowledged the divine guidance they received throughout the process.“This feat would not have been accomplished without the unwavering support, guidance and trust you have placed in us. Our foremost gratitude goes to Dear Onyame for guiding us throughout this process,” portions of the statement read.
Moving forward, the Guru-led administration is calling on fellow students to collaborate effectively with them to address challenges and enhance their overall university experience. This victory marks the beginning of a new chapter, filled with opportunities to make a positive impact on the university community.
