The Judicial Council (JC) of the Students Representative Council (SRC) of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) at its sitting at the Republic Hall on a case brought before it on the just ended SRC elections has ruled that the results be nulled and a re-voting scheduled.
Kofi Adabor, Stephen Nsiah Opoku and Olympio Sylvanus petitioned the SRC Judicial Commission on the results of the 2014/2015 SRC Election. They argued that the election process was interfered by the Dean of Students and the independence of the Electoral Commissioner was compromised.
The parties asked the court to order for a re-election and revert to the old system (ballot). The Electoral Commission’s lawyers agreed that the election process was interrupted and the independence of the EC compromised but they can not respond for the Dean of Students.
