Following this release, one ... purported to be the secretary to the vetting and appointments panel released a communique to the whole students population disagreeing with the said results. 

According to him, the reports does not reflect the opinion of the vetting and appointments panel as agreed. The more he points issues to the direction that suggests that the process was being tweaked to satisfy the political hunger of some group of people. 

After this came a communique from the appointed president himself! Co-signed by his running mate, Mr. Isaac Opare Junior, the communique also pointed to political machinations amongst other things. 

To this, Havilah and his running mate have officially declined the appointment conferred on them by the committee as president and vice. 

They went on to throw their support behind the call of the 8 aspirants who withdrew earlier from the race now demanding for an election that will see students of the institute elect their own leaders. 

They proposed that just as in other institutions like KNUST and University of Ghana, an interim committee be appointed. 

The trajectory has seen a back and forth on the issue of new SRC executives for the GIJ-SRC's 2020-2021 administrative year full of ins and outs and disagreements particularly with the process towards getting a new set of executives. 

The conversation is still ongoing but the question is; have the surprises ended?
