Gahtan Algahtani was first out of the running with 3.5%, followed by Hassan Hamdoun with 14.6%, and Seveone Ye with 22.4 % of the vote.
Eva’s key manifesto promise is to introduce a Welcome Pack for international students upon their arrival at Swansea University.
Other manifesto points include an Erasmus Support Group for past and future Erasmus students as well as an International Student Satisfaction Survey.
Miss Donoghue said: “My biggest priority is definitely student involvement and getting the international students involved.
“I thought Eleanna did incredibly and I definitely thought she was going to win. The biggest issue we had was getting students to vote. I would like to thank Kelly Jervis and her whole house, Becki Warrillow and my campaign team.”
Eva has previously worked with the Black Students Committee after being elected to the position last year.
She also has experience working with societies, a feature she intends to use as International Officer in order to make sure all of the cultural societies gain all the support they need.
