BUK First Online S.U.G Election Faces Technical Challenges, Calls for Urgent Action to Ensure Fairness

The history of Bayero University Kano (BUK) witnesses its first-ever online Student Union Government (S.U.G) election, but it has been marred by significant technical challenges, leaving students frustrated and concerned about the fairness of the process.

Unprecedented Hurdles:

The online election system encountered severe technical difficulties, preventing approximately 85% of students from casting their votes. As the hours of the election day swiftly pass, the situation has left many questioning the viability of this new approach.

Calling for Urgent Action:

Students, including Comrade Sadeeq Samba, have raised their voices, demanding swift action to rectify the situation. They implore the Bayero University Independent Electoral Commission (BUKIECO) to ensure that every eligible Bukite is given the opportunity to vote and that all casted votes are accurately counted.

Concerns Over Security:

In addition to technical issues, there are concerns that the election site may have been compromised. BUKIECO is urged to conduct a thorough security review to ensure the integrity of the election process.

Expectations for a Resolution:

The BUK community, known for its active participation in student governance, did not anticipate such challenges in this historic online election. Students express their hope that BUKIECO will swiftly address these issues and ensure a fair and transparent electoral process. They emphasize that this situation is not reflective of the expectations they had for this election.

The fate of BUK's S.U.G election hangs in the balance as students await a resolution and a fair opportunity to cast their votes.
