Ghanaian musician Maradona Adjei Yeboah, famously known as Guru, has been named the new SRC President of the University of Ghana after emerging victorious in the election held earlier today.
This triumph is particularly significant considering the challenges he faced leading up to the election, including his earlier disqualification from the race due to his non-residential status.
Initially barred from contesting the SRC Presidential race, Guru appealed the decision, which resulted in his reinstatement as a candidate.
His journey back into the contest was met with widespread attention, and after a heated campaign, he secured a majority of the votes.
Together with his vice-presidential running mate, Jeffery Adu Yeboah, they garnered 50.7% of the total votes cast. This achievement makes Guru the 67th SRC President, a milestone not only for him but also for his supporters.
The reversal of his disqualification and his eventual success have become a trending topic on social media, with many celebrating his perseverance and resilience.
For a public figure already renowned for his contributions to the music industry, this latest victory adds a political dimension to his persona.
His success in the student elections has sparked discussions about his versatility and ability to juggle both his entertainment career and leadership ambitions.
His campaign was centred on addressing key issues affecting students, and his popularity among the university’s student population clearly showed in the final results. His victory not only brings excitement but also sets high expectations for his term in office.
As the newly elected SRC President, Guru is now tasked with delivering on the promises made during his campaign.
