Hiplife artist Maradona Adjei Yeboah, popularly known as Guru NKZ, has filed a legal challenge against the University of Ghana’s Student Representative Council (SRC) Electoral Commission following his disqualification from the presidential election.
The disqualification was based on Guru’s non-resident status, which breaches Article 30 requiring candidates to be campus residents and eligible for a Junior Common Room (JCR) position.
In response, Guru’s legal team has submitted a petition to both the Electoral Commission and the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, requesting a review of the decision.
Furthermore, an interim injunction has been filed with the Judicial Board, seeking to temporarily suspend the electoral process until a proper hearing and ruling can be conducted.
“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
