Election results announced: 2011 Student Parliament Election

Posted on February 29, 2012

In October 2011 the structures involved in the processes for the election of the Student Parliament found that the elections which took place during September 2011 could not be declared fair in all the constituencies. An announcement was made that a re-election would be called in seven of the 11 constituencies. AfriForum Youth objected to this announcement and its mother organisation – AfriForum – took the University to Court regarding this matter. The case was heard in the North Gauteng High Court. On Friday, 24 February 2012 Justice Rabie ruled in favour of AfriForum. The University was ordered to announce the election results.

The University of Pretoria takes note of the judgment. Although the University does not necessarily agree with all the Court’s findings, it will respect the order and has already started to implement it. Accordingly, the election results have been announced and the Student Parliament will be constituted shortly.

The full election results appear below.
