Guru disqualified from UG SRC race

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the UG Electoral Commission kicked Ghanaian musician Guru out of the UG SRC presidential race.

In a statement shared on Radio Univers's X platform, the EC justified its move by pointing out that Guru was a non-residential candidate and, therefore, could not contest, per the UG constitution. Guru was not the only candidate qualified in the presidential race.
