PRESS STATEMENT : Team Haruna Opposes SRC Presidential Election Results

Team Haruna addresses the student body to formally express its opposition to the declared results of the SRC Presidential election.

This position is based on serious irregularities observed during the voting process, which undermine the credibility, transparency, and fairness of the election.

It has come to our notice that some students who had not cast their votes were, upon accessing the portal, indicated as already voted. This situation disenfranchised affected individuals and raises grave concerns about the integrity of the system.

Additionally, inconsistencies were recorded in the vote count displayed on the portal. In several instances, votes cast did not reflect accurately or update as expected, creating doubt about the reliability of the tallying process.

We also observed procedural lapses. The election, scheduled to commence at 7am, did not begin till 8am and also the portal was inaccessible to many students between 8am and 9am. Furthermore, there are indications that voting activity continued beyond the official closing time, with votes reportedly being recorded after 5pm.

These issues, taken together, compromise the integrity of the electoral process.

In light of the above, Team Haruna:

1. Rejects the credibility of the SRC Presidential election results.

2. Calls on the Electoral Commission to immediately investigate these irregularities.

3. Demands a comprehensive audit of the voting system and records.

4. Urges the Commission to take appropriate remedial action, including possible annulment and rerun when these concerns are validated.

We remain committed to protecting the democratic will of the students and ensuring that every vote genuinely counts.

We call on all stakeholders to stand for transparency, fairness, and accountability.

Signed
Haruna Rashid Yussif
Presidential Aspirant
