His message resonated deeply with the student body, eager for change.
“I’m humbled by the trust placed in me,” Guru said in his victory speech. “As your SRC President, I promise to work tirelessly to address the issues that matter most to you. Together, we’ll create a better University of Ghana experience.”
Guru’s win has sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the university. Students are optimistic about the prospect of positive change, and his leadership is seen as a beacon of hope.
“Guru’s victory shows that we, as students, want something different,” said Ama Ansah, a Level 300 student. “He brings a fresh perspective, and we’re eager to see the impact.”
