For the second year running, no one is running for the offices of Black Minority Ethnic Officer or LGBT Officer in the UWE SU elections.

On the SU website, it says that there are ‘no approved candidates’, which would suggest that no-one ran at all.

Other offices that no one ran for included Postgraduate Officer, City Campus Officer, Frenchay Campus Officer and Community and Welfare Officer.

We contacted the SU for a statement. Voting closes at midnight.
