Well it's that time of year again, when optimistic students get to stand around handing out pamphlets trying to encourage the other students to vote for them.
Yesterday (Feb 2) at 4pm was the deadline for candidates in the upcoming TRUSU election. The candidates are split into two parties: TRU United and TRU Alliance "United We Stand". Let's try not to confuse the two.
Here they are:
TRU United
President: Darya "Dasha" Moryakova (currently on TRUSU as the VP of Finance)
VP Internal: Abdallah El Chami
VP External: Jambo Mirzabekov (currently on TRUSU as the International student's rep.)
VP Finance: Sadriddin Mirkhodjaev (currently on TRUSU as Business and Economics, School of Tourism rep.)
Aboriginal Rep: Nicole Joseph
Women's Rep: Jennifer Palma
Grad Rep: Muteb Alanzi
Business Rep: Jordan Phelps
Vocational Rep: Jordan Harris
Science/ Arts Rep: Dustin McIntyre
International Rep: David Zhou
Their platform:
"Enhance student life, promote unified campus culture, fight increasing tuition, create a green campus, and develop a parking plan."
United We Stand
President: Neville Yemi Obbu
VP Finance: Ricardo Iraheta
Aboriginal Rep:Ursal Williams
Women's Rep: Crystal D. Hunt
Social Work, Nursing, Trades and Division of Student Development Rep: Karl Koziura
Science/Arts Rep: Albert Ajatuewo
International Rep: Aisha Musa
Their platform:
"Accountability, transparency, pro-activeness, informative, diversity, and affordable tuition."
Four of the candidates don't have any competition. Those are Jambo Mirzabekov, Abdallah El Chami, Muteb Alanzi, and Jordan Phelps. All four are from TRU United and two of the positions are executive positions.
Now, for the challenging part! Trying to track down all of the candidates to get them to say something other than what is already listed so neatly on all their posters. Stay tuned...
