Comr. Nwizua, Felix Kingsley, a 200L student of the department of Computer Science yesterday, 5th March 2014 emerged the winner of the presidential seat of the University of Port-Harcourt Student Union Government, SUG. Felix, who was the general course rep. in his 100L and also the Computer Science course rep. contested alongside 5 other Presidential candidates out of which 2 were later nullified for a relatively low CGPA took an edge over 3 other presidential contenders to emerge the SUG president for the 2013/2014 academic session.
The election which was described as free and fair by the ELECO took place in the University main campus, a total number of 40 candidates, out of which about 10 was later nullified took part in the election. About 70% of the candidates, including Felix, were students of the U2011 set - prospective 200 level students who were supposed to be in 300 level if not for the prolonged ASUU strike last year. About 50% of the entire school population took part in the voting process, except for the freshers who were automatically disenfrachised. Other positions in the SUG office were also elected except for the office of the vice president which had a little controversy, one miss Ufomba Joy, a VP aspirant with a CGPA of 4.50, a student of the department of Educational Foundations was nullified for reasons not known to us, thereby leading to that controversy. So for now, the Office of the VP is still vacant, and yet to be decided.
