(c) Lessons Drawn from the Elections

1. Positive:

(i) The preparations were thorough to the extent that all the contesting candidates for SRA concurred that the elections were free and fair and even congratulated the Dean of Students and his team for a job well done. All the five SEC Presidential candidates and the fifteen contestants for the position of Secretary General who were present during the counting of votes concurred that the elections were efficiently run and above all were free and fair. They appended their signatures to this effect and congratulated the winners. This is rarely happens in student elections.

(ii) The voting exercise was also a platform for which the faculties upgraded their registers.

(iii) The team spirit which prevailed amongst the various University Departments was just outstanding (Student Affairs, Security, Faculties and Central Services)

2. Negative:

(i) Whenever there is a student related activity on campus, extra security measures ought to be put in place. Particularly for these volatile student elections, presence of State security was mandatory in cases which could prove beyond the capabilities of our local Security Department. This would go a long way in protecting lives and University property. It is sincerely regrettable that there was unwarranted damage to New Lecture 400 entrance doors.

(ii) Funds  permitting, there need to differentiate the colour of ballot papers for the SEC President from those of the SEC Secretary General. This would minimize the mixing up of cast ballot papers within the boxes.

(iii) The counting exercise could be speeded up. This would reduce a lot of anxiety on the part of candidates and the rest of the electorate. This would also help to ensure that the elections business is concluded early to curb the rowdy few who may be bent on violence taking advantage of the darkness of night.

to all our fellow cdes who are writing this month... remember that God said...... "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and inscrutable things which you do not know". (Jer 33:3) May it be that all your hard labor and work, produce 30 fold, 60 fold, moreover a 100 fold. All the best!!!

A prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank. (Niccolo Machiavelli)
