Ndejje University administration has blocked and kicked out one aspirant out of the guild presidential race because of having multiple retakes and a number of missed papers.
The University registrar’s office removed the name of Arthur Balaaba from the list of the guild contestants after finding him not worthy of filling the position which dictates that a student vying for the guild presidential position should be clean of crimes and not have any retakes in any paper.
Balaaba was campaigning under the umbrella of the second year engineering students and was seen to be splashing a lot of cash to the students in order to woo them to his side. By the time of his exit out of the race, Balaaba was having a number of cheerful supporters around the campus.
According to information released by the academic registrar’s office, students found to be having retakes in some papers were to be scrapped off the list of the aspiring students.
“We cannot let academically challenged students run for these posts. If they can have retakes as normal students, there is a higher chance they will now bathe in retakes if their life gets occupied with guild council activities which might not give them time to read their books,” the statement read.
Balaaba’s supporters were very shocked and angered by the university’ decision to scrap the name of their sole candidate off the list of guild aspirants.
“This is nonsense, if he has retakes does it mean he cannot re-do those papers in coming years? I believe this is just a ploy by opponents from the administration who want to fail us,” one angered supporter, Barbie Nantongo yelled to our reporter.
There are now three contestants in the race for the highest guild office of Ndejje University. Among whom are Ssengendo Amos, Ojilong Wilbert and Sixtus Mwaka, who happens to be the current chief fresher.
The nominations for the guild aspirants ended yesterday at Ndejje University main campus in Luwero at 4pm, we shall update you about the outcomes of the nominations.
