Jacob Ampeire, a second year student of Mass communication, has won the Bishop Barham University College (BBUC) guild presidential election.
He defeated David Kule Nzerebende, a second year student of BBA and Christopher Atukwase of BPAM.
Ampeire polled 371 and was followed by Nzerembede who got 206 votes while Atukwase came in last with 191 votes.
Ampeire was declared winner at about 6:45pm by the returning officer Ann Katungwesi, who also serves as the acting dean of students, on Saturday.
Speaking to Campus Bee, Dan Owoyesiga, the BBUC electoral commission chairperson, said the election was “free and fair”.
“According to the UCU Guild Constitution, anyone who obtains the highest number of votes shoul be declared the Guild President. I therefore ask all of you to accept the results of this election,” he urged.
After being announced winner, Ampeire promised to work hard to improve the status of BBUC students.
