The residents from the two halls threw broken bottles and stones at each other in front of the SRC Union Building
The 2021 Student Representative Council (SRC) presidential race was pushed into a run-off following the inability of the four presidential candidates – Samuel Amos Ofosu, Priscilla Asantewaa Ayeh, Felix Ayittah, and Prince Asumadu to secure a fifty plus one vote as stipulated UGSRC constitution.
The run-off elections took place yesterday Friday, October 29, 2021, between Team Samuel Amos Ofosu Aand Alfred Acquah and Team Prince Asumadu and Wisdom Ndukwe.
The election was held partly in person and online due to the modular system of learning adopted by the University after the covid-19 pandemic.
All polling stations across have counted their ballot papers and Presidential candidates Prince Asumadu and Wisdom Ndukwe are in the lead
However, the University community is still waiting to see the results from the online elections.
