Guru is determined to stand his ground, having reportedly submitted a petition to the UGSRC Judicial Board in pursuit of an interim injunction.

This petition challenges the fairness and constitutionality of disqualifying non-resident students from participating in the SRC elections, particularly given that the SRC’s decisions affect the entire student population.

Recall the commission of the university said per what is stipulated in their constitution, only residents are eligible to run for election.

Both Guru and his running mate, Jeffery Adu Yeboah, were disqualified after they acknowledged during the vetting process that they do not reside in any of the university’s halls.

However, contesting the unfortunate development, Guru shared;

“TAKE NOTICE that Council for and on behalf of the Plaintiff /Applicant herein praying for an order for an interim injunction to restrain the Defendant/Respondent, their agents, servants, and any persons whatsoever authorized by them from going ahead to proceed with the election pending the final determination of this suit,” part of his petition said.

Guru’s petition argues that the UGSRC Electoral Commission’s decision was unconstitutional, asserting that the interpretation and enforcement of constitutional provisions fall under the jurisdiction of the Judicial Board, not the vetting committee.

The petition further calls for a declaration that Guru is qualified to run for the position of UGSRC President and seeks an order to restrain the Electoral Commission from proceeding with the elections until the matter is resolved.
