Online Poll Reveals Guru’s Slim Chance of winning UG SRC Presidential Election As He Comes 2nd
An online poll by Radio Universe, the University of Ghana‘s official radio station, has provided a glimpse into the current landscape of the SRC presidential election. Conducted on August 12, 2024, the poll results indicate that renowned musician Guru faces an uphill battle to secure the presidency.
Guru, known for his hit songs, accumulated 2,486 votes, equivalent to 34.8% of the total votes cast. Despite his high profile and significant following, this performance places him in second place. The poll reveals that his chances of winning are relatively slim compared to his competitors.
Leading the pack are Manuel Owusu Amponsah and his vice-presidential candidate, Lawrence Edinam Egleh. The pair achieved a commanding victory in the poll, capturing 4,470 votes, or 62.5% of the total. Their strong showing underscores their substantial support base and suggests they are the clear favorites for the position.
Other candidates have not fared as well. Noah Nii Afotey Odai and his running mate, Abigail Ohenewaa Adjei, came in third with just 124 votes, representing only 1.7% of the total. Emmanuel Mensah and Justice Mbawini Abugri secured 49 votes, or 0.7%, while Blessing Mantey and Martin Agbefia trailed with a mere 20 votes, amounting to 0.3%.
The poll results have sparked a flurry of reactions among students and netizens. Many have expressed surprise at the relatively low support for some candidates, particularly Guru, given his celebrity status. The results reflect a dynamic and competitive election, with Manuel Owusu Amponsah and Lawrence Edinam Egleh emerging as the dominant contenders.
