First of let me use this opportunity to congratulate all the aspirants, they all did well and to congratulate myself and all the students body and not just those who voted for me because as it stands now it is no longer about who voted for me, it is now about the progress of thee and how we can implement our policies and make sure that whatever we intented to let the students benefits would actually get the benefits
The second deputy electoral commissioner, Ebenezer Nana Qwedjie Addo, who also spoke to UniversNews indicated that the commission was able to resolve all challenges relating to students not receiving their voting links on time.
Basically for today, the only complain that came on were some people who said they didn’t receive their links, where later they were all sorted as they bring out their students ID numbers the link were resent to them and they were about to vote so we didn’t really get any problem like that. We anticipate that just like the turnout was today, it wasn’t to encouraging but we pray tomorrow’s own will be better, he said.
