The winners of the SRC spring elections have been announced, with the most important position of SRC President being won by Breffni O’Connor.
O’Connor saw off competition from Donald Mackay, Owen Mooney and Naomi Duffy-Welsh to win by 1288 votes. She replaces Jess McGrellis as SRC President after McGrellis stood uncontested in last year’s elections.
The SRC Vice Presidents will be Gin Masiulyte elected as VP Student Activites with 1081 votes, Cal Davies elected as VP Education with 870 votes and Liam King as VP Student Support with 1122 votes.
11 candidates in total were in the running for the four sabbatical positions this year, after Katrina Durie dropped out of the running for VP Student Support at the start of this week. Unlike in last year’s elections, all four positions were contested this year.
Voting took place today and yesterday, with the familiar campaigning being seen across campus as all candidates looked to secure every vote possible.
