All members of the Electoral Commission of the Junior Common Room of the Elizabeth Frances Sey Hall have announced their resignation from office.
This comes barely a day after the Students Representative Council Judicial Board delivered a landmark ruling favouring one Wisdom Ndukwe, an aspirant in the forthcoming Sey JCR election.
“I wish to officially inform you that the Electoral Commission following the ruling of the SRC Judicial Board and the consideration of other factors has decided to resign from our duties and roles effective today,” the introduction of the letter reads
The ruling allows Wisdom Ndukwe to submit his forms and contest in the elections even though he brought it after the deadline because of some dramatic happenings that took place barely two hours to the EC’s deadline.
In the letter, the members of the Electoral Commission were disappointed that although they served the hall in good faith, it did not receive enough commendation for their work.
“As the Electoral Commission of Elizabeth Frances Sey Hall, we served with honor, stood by our virtues and applied discipline, diligence and impartiality to our work. We treated you all equally and dealt with you in a manner which reflects fairness and impartiality. However, it appears to us that, our good efforts were not commendable enough and was faced by strict opposition hence our resignation,” they stated
They also disclosed that they have already submitted all necessary documents pertaining to the forthcoming election to the JCR President.

I wish to officially inform you that the Electoral Commission following the ruling of the SRC Judicial Board and the consideration of other factors has decided to resign from our duties and roles effective today.
As the Electoral Commission of Elizabeth Frances Sey Hall, we served with honour, stood by our virtues and applied discipline, diligence, and impartiality to our work.
We treated you all equally and dealt with you in a manner that reflects fairness and impartiality. However, it appears to us that, our good efforts were not commendable enough and were faced by strict opposition hence our resignation.
All documents and information pertaining to the election have been given to the President which shall be handed over to the next EC.
On this note, I hereby declare the dissolution of this group. The new ECs would create a new group for you where necessary. We wish you all the best in your bid to contest for the various Executive portfolios and serve our honourable hall.
If our resignation in any way has inconvenienced any of you, we beg you to forgive us. We believe it’s time to do what’s right and stand for the right course!!
Thank You
