They provide a structured platform for us to engage in governance, hone leadership skills, and actively contribute to the vibrant tapestry of campus life. Overseeing this fair and transparent process is Mr. Julius Ogola, ensuring that every vote counts.
But what exactly is at stake? Why should you consider throwing your hat in the ring, or even just casting your vote? Well, the benefits are plentiful.

Candidates and elected members gain invaluable leadership experience, learning to manage teams, organize events, and effectively advocate for their peers. The election process itself is a crucible, pushing you to step outside your comfort zone, build confidence, and become a voice to be reckoned with.
The elected council acts as a vital bridge between students and administration. They are the champions, the change-makers, the ones who can translate our needs into real, positive change on campus.
