- Guru NKZ disqualified from University of Ghana SRC presidential race
- Petition filed to contest disqualification and alleged discrimination
- Guru NKZ seeks inclusivity and fairness for all students in university elections
Renowned musician Maradona Adjei Yeboah, popularly known as Guru NKZ, has taken legal action against the University of Ghana’s Student Representative Council (SRC) Electoral Commission following his disqualification from the SRC presidential race.
Guru’s legal team has submitted a petition to the Electoral Commission and the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, contesting the decision to disqualify him due to his non-resident status. The petition seeks a review of the decision, citing unfair discrimination.
In addition, Guru’s team has filed an interim injunction with the Judicial Board, requesting a temporary halt to the electoral process until a proper hearing and ruling can be made.
Guru remains committed to his vision of an inclusive SRC, vowing to fight against any form of discrimination within the university. “We shall ensure that there is no discrimination towards any student, whether resident or non-resident, able or with special needs, first Degree or PFD, Local or International, Korle-Bu, City Campus or Distance education, including all the Regional Learning Centers across the length and breadth of the country,” he stated.
Guru expressed confidence in the Judicial Board’s ability to grant a fair hearing and deliver a just outcome, ensuring that all students have an equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
