Guru, whose real name is Maradona Adjei Yeboah, and his running mate Jeffery Adu-Yeboah, secured 50.7 per cent of the votes, totaling 9,455. The election saw a remarkable voter turnout of 18,659 students.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Appeals Board of the University of Ghana overturned the disqualification of musician Maradona Adjei Yeboah (aka Guru) and Emmanuel Owusu Amponsah from the Students' Representative Council (SRC) presidential election on Sunday, September 15.
Initially, the SRC had barred Guru from contesting due to not meeting the required qualifications.
