Ghanaian hiplife musician Maradona Yeboah Adjei, known as Guru, has been elected President of the University of Ghana’s Students Representative Council (SRC).
Guru secured 9,455 votes, overcoming initial disqualification controversy. Guru and running mate Jeffery Adu-Yeboah were initially disqualified for not being hall residents.
Guru filed a petition against the University of Ghana’s SRC Electoral Commission following his disqualification from the presidential race.
During vetting, Guru and his running mate, Jeffery Adu Yeboah, confirmed that they were not residents of any hall, resulting in their disqualification.
In response, his legal team lodged a petition with the Electoral Commission and the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, seeking a review of the decision.
Additionally, an interim injunction was submitted to the judicial board, requesting a temporary halt to the electoral process until a proper hearing and ruling can be made.
However, a petition and interim injunction led to a 7-0 appeals board vote in their favor on September 15, 2024.
