A second-year student at the University of Ghana (UG), Joseph Mawuli Asioh , has filed a lawsuit at the Circuit Court in Adentan, Accra, against the University, its senior officials, and the Electoral Commissioner of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC). The lawsuit challenges the inclusion of two disqualified candidates in the 2024 SRC elections.
This legal action follows the university’s Appeals Board unanimously overturning disqualification Guru and another candidate due to their non-residential status.
The SRC argued that both candidates did not meet the qualifications necessary to contest the election. However, the Vice Dean instructed that their names, along with their respective running mates, be included in the list of presidential candidates.

Guru won the SRC presidential election with his running mate, Jeffery Adu-Yeboah securing 50.7% of the votes (9,455 votes out of 18,659).
Joseph Mawuli Asioh claims that the Appeals Board’s decision to allow the two candidates to contest was unlawful, citing procedural violations by the University’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Student Affairs.
