AJING Jipur, better known to many on campus simply as AJ, has been elected to become next year’s students’ union president.

Reacting to the news of his victory he told us: “I feel quite good. It has been a really hectic and fun week. Above all I would like to congratulate all the competitors, they’ve all done incredible campaigns and I wish them the best of luck.”

When asked what his immediate plans were he answered: “I’m just looking forward to a good night’s sleep!”

AJ, pictured above right, was elected on 37% of the vote, or 881 total votes., compared to Steph Dalton’s 19.5% (462 votes), Harry Forrester’s 19% (451 votes), Chris Walburn’s 14% (333 votes) and Caleb Severn’s 9%. Re-Open Nominations received 37 votes, for 1.5%.

The president has been elected on a platform that would create an express bus service between our two campuses, bettering the lighting in Singleton Park and the opening of a Bay Campus office, amongst other things.

AJ thus becomes the first black and African president of our students’ union.

Ajing is the current international officer and has served on a variety of society committees since he has been in Swansea, from the Afro-Caribbean Society to UNICEF, serving as president for the latter this year.
