The Senatorial and Presidential elections for Eastern Michigan University’s Student Government ended on March 27, but a winner of the Presidential election has yet to be declared due to ongoing campaign investigations.
“The Election Commission understands that candidates and the student body are eager to learn the results of the election for Student Government President and Vice President,” Nto Agbor, Chair of the 2014 Election Commission and Speaker of the Senate said via email. “The Commission is undertaking a fair and thorough investigation into matters related to the election. This investigation is important, but we are working to complete the investigation as soon as possible in order to provide information to the students. We appreciate your patience.”
The Election Commission is made up of students, some of whom serve on student government and some who do not. The commission is established before the student government election takes place.
“The election commission is committed to a fair and thorough process and at the end of this process they will provide ample [information] to the Eastern community,” Leigh Greden, EMU Vice President of Government and Community Relations said.
The university community has already been told the results and Student Senatorial elections, but the results of the Presidential and Vice Presidential Election remain in limbo.
