KABALE- The Chairperson of Kabale University’s Guild Electoral Commission, Twinomugisha Ian, has warned candidates against violating election rules ahead of the 2024 Guild elections.
According to the roadmap, the Guild elections are scheduled to take place on October 12, with the election of Guild Representatives Committee (GRC) members on October 19 and a swearing-in ceremony on October 22. Twinomugisha said that six candidates have been nominated for the Guild President position.
The elections for both the Guild and GRCs will be held physically using ballot papers. Addressing journalists at the university’s Guild building on Friday, Twinomugisha, the Guild Electoral Chairperson, issued a stern warning that any student found guilty of violating rules would face automatic disqualification.
He emphasized that candidates should follow the university’s Constitution and abide by the rules and regulations set by the university’s Guild Electoral Commission, stating that every candidate has been provided with a copy of electoral offenses to avoid unintentional violations.
Speaking to our reporter after being nominated, Akampurira Jonathan Reid, an aspiring candidate for Kabale University’s 2024-2025 Guild Presidential polls, pledged to edit every policy to have free WiFi extended to every hostel with more than 40 students or those in close proximity to the university premises.
Akampurira, who has been serving as the 8th Guild Speaker, also highlighted plans for the expansion of the University Clinic. He noted that the current clinic does not accommodate more than four patients and hopes to utilize the adjacent room. Additionally, Akampurira highlighted the challenge of the university van, citing difficulties during trips and burials.
