Guru breaks silence after victory in Legon SRC election

Ghanaian musician, Maradona Adjei Yeboah, popularly known as Guru, has expressed appreciation to supporters after winning the University of Ghana Students’ Representative Council (SRC) presidential election.

Guru and his running mate, Jeffrey Adu-Yeboah polled 9,455 votes out of 18,659, representing 50.7% in the election held on Wednesday.

His close contender, Emmanuel Owusu Amponsah and running mate, Lawrence Edinam Egleh secured 6645 votes, representing 35.6% of the total votes cast.

In a statement, the victory team noted that, they were overwhelmed with joy, humility and gratitude.

They acknowledged that, the path to victory was not smooth sailing but had to bounce back stronger after being disqualified and had to appeal.

They thanked their legal team, Gideon Agyapong (Lead Counsel), Murdock Yeboah (Co-Counsel), and Emmanuel Hanson (Co-Counsel), for being their backbone in helping them win the appeal.

“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.

The Guru-led administration has called on fellow students to effectively collaborate with them to address their challenges to improve their experiences.
