SRC Elections at GCTU: Another Halt Amid Controversies and Allegations

 


Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) is once again embroiled in controversy as the Student Representative Council (SRC) elections, which were rescheduled after an earlier postponement, face yet another halt. The election, originally set to occur weeks ago, was delayed due to the disqualification of a candidate—a move that sparked widespread concern and led to a court order mandating that the process be paused until the proper procedures were followed.

 

Today was meant to be the new date for the elections. However, as it stands, the election for the presidential portfolio has been brought to a standstill. This latest interruption has only added to the growing frustration among the candidates and the student body.

 

Mr. Berimah Twum, one of the presidential aspirants, expressed his concerns in a candid discussion. “We are not comfortable with what is going on concerning the elections,” he stated. His discomfort stems from significant irregularities in the election process, specifically regarding the ballot papers. According to Mr. Twum, the ballot papers for the presidential race lack serial numbers, and the QR code on them does not appear to be linked to or authenticated by the Electoral Commission (E.C.).

 

These issues have led to serious doubts about the legitimacy of the election. In an effort to address these concerns, some aspirants suggested a compromise: they proposed that a stamp, agreed upon by all stakeholders, be placed on the ballot papers to ensure their authenticity. This proposal, however, did not sit well with the E.C., leading to yet another halt in the election process.


Further complicating the situation are allegations that the E.C. and other key stakeholders may have vested interests in the outcome of the election. It is rumored that these parties are attempting to influence the process to secure a win for their preferred candidates. Such accusations have only fueled the discontent among the student body.

 Many GCTU students are expressing their anger and frustration with the ongoing issues. They are calling for the intervention of higher authorities to ensure that their concerns are addressed and that the election process is conducted fairly and transparently.

 As the chaos continues, the GCTU community is left in a state of uncertainty, with students and candidates alike wondering when—and if—their voices will be heard in a free and fair election.
