Do you know the candidates running for office this year? Check out the missing faces.

After the coronavirus pandemic forced us to terminate the semester, the normal procedure of going to the polls to elect executives for a new SRC administration was equally affected.

With this situation in place, the best way out as agreed upon by the three arms of the SRC (Executive Committee, General Assembly and Judicial Committee) together with the dean of students affairs have agreed to the formation of a special Vettting Committe that will be tasked with vetting and appointing new SRC executives. 

Led by the deputy speaker of the GIJ-SRC General Assembly of under the Sir Joe administration, Rt. Hon, Emmanuel Earl-Aggrey, the vetting committee whose members aside the chairman are yet to be known have released pictures of contestants of the various SRC offices ahead of the vetting tomorrow.

Let's have a look at these aspirants.

Office of the External Affairs Commissioner

Contesting for this office are Edith Gyekye and Godfred Zina Mbanansong all level 400 students of the institute. Prior to the break forced by the pandemic, they were the only ones in the race.

Women's Commission

Vying for the position of Women's Commissioner are Esther Dorman and Farida Yeboah. These two have been in the race from the beginning. One person is however missing,  a prominent face, Yayra Utah Adabonu. They were three, but now two!

Organizing Secretary

As was in the beginning, so it is not now. In this crucial race are three prolific students of the institute, Derrick Ofosu (Level 400), Desmond Boahene popularly called Master B (Level 400) and Erasmus Mensah (Level 400 Weekend). Interestingly, they are all from the prominent Osagyefo hall so a fall on students as decider would have been hard for the hall. Prior to getting here however, there were rumors of some of them seeing a possible merger. A face is lost in this category! Emmanuel Kumah popularly referred to as Big Kums also from the Odagyefo Hall.

Financial Secretary

They were initially two from the beginning. Probably the earliest face seen in the race for the office of the Financial Secretary, Ishmael Awudi (Level 400) is still in the race and now stands as the only one in this race. The second time this office has seen a sole contender since 2018.

General Secretary

Still contesting for the office of the General Secretary are Patrick Anyebuno and Joyce Afelik all of level 400. 

President

With the highest number of contenders, 5 people are contesting for the highest office of the institute. With their vice presidential candidates, who gets the nod from the Earl-Aggrey Vetting Committee to head affairs of the SRC?

The bigger picture is; which team will administer SRC affairs?
