Bazil Mwotta’s [the guild-president elect] supporters are on strike even before the verdict is announced. Mixed feelings have come up as they move around campus with branches of trees chanting, “weee weee…petition zeeeee.”
After the recently concluded MUK Guild presidential elections where Bazil Mwotta emerged winner in a tight race with Roy Ssemboga, the University tribunal ordered a recount of votes at the faculty of Education for all the Presidential aspirants.
This came following a petition that was filed by Roy Ssemboga in protest of the electoral processes which he said was “marred by irregularities.” Results from polling stations at the faculty of education were nullified and a recount was done yesterday on the 21st March 2016 at the Guild offices and main building respectively.
Part of Mwotta’s camp invaded the school of languages and put the lectures there to a stand still as they shouted “one way.” Okori Racheal, a student at the school says the strike is weak and that students should stop striking and let them do what brought them to school.
Main building is being guarded with a police patrol car as students wait in anticipation for the next declaration. This is a developing story, Campus Bee will keep you updated as it unfolds.
