Here’s the result of the UCLU elections

Only 16 per cent of us voted


The Officers for the next academic year were duly elected last night following a rather disappointing voter turnout of under 5,000 students, with some positions having only one candidate standing and three failing to reach even that.

Below is the full list of results, complete with links to each candidates manifesto so you can read more about the people you probably didn’t vote for.
