A KNUST student has gained the spotlight after the just-ended KNUST SRC elections. Samuel Afful, the SRC's Vice-President, has become a pivotal figure in the polls.

Giving an account of his journey of wanting to become a student leader, the mouthpiece of KNUST on X, @Voice of KNUST, highlighted that his ambition began at 'level 100'.
According to the post, in the 2020 Academic Year, Afful contested for the Doctor of Optometry Class Rep and lost out.
The following year, he viced a presidential candidate at the Science Student Association of KNUST and also lost.
A year later, he ran unsuccessful campaign as a presidential candidate at the Science Student Association.
In 2023, Afful managed a presidential candidate at the Science Student Association of KNUST, and the person lost.
However, in 2024, he viced an SRC presidential candidate (Kane Nana Francis) and finally won his first KNUST election.
Afful's story serves as an inspiration for many who may want to quit after several failed attempts.
