August 28, 2005: A free and fair process: the election of Prefects
Now that you have seen how the Prefectorial candidates were vetted, we present here photos from the actual prefectorial
elections of 2005. Because Mr. SSS nearly single-handedly destroyed our school, the whole school is counting on this new batch of Prefects
to deliver us from the verge of ignominy. This is how we elected the Ampong S.O regime on Wednesday, June 22, 2005.
Here are the Sofoline boys, voting freely for their ideal men.

On the side of each plastic vote basket was a label for each of the prefectorial positions. One each for Senior
Prefect, First Assistant Senior Prefect, Second Assistant Senior Prefect, Chapel Prefect, Protocol Prefect and so on.

Getting everything ready

All is set for Amanfoo to vote.

Voting begins.

Amanfoo spent the whole day voting.

Voting for external prefects were held first, then residents of each house went to vote for their House Prefects separately.
|
It was so elegantly done: no violence, rigging, arguments or corruption. No electoral commission was needed.

In the end, these prefects, who predominantly cherish traditional Twi names as opposed to English Christian names, were elected.
The eight most senior prefects -- the so-called Big Eight -- (it used to be Big Nine in the old days), in descending order of seniority, are:
Ampong Stephen Osei (Senior Prefect),
Demitiah William Kwasi Owusu (1st Asst. Senior Prefect),
Asamoah Adu Yaw Agyekum (2nd Asst Senior Prefect),
Asare-Addo Daniel (Chapel Prefect),
Duah Evans (Asst. Chapel Prefect),
Danso Percy Eric (Dining Hall Prefect),
Adu-Ababio Kwabena (1st Asst. Dining Hall Prefect), and
Amofa Enoch Kwabena (2nd Asst. Dining Hall Prefect).
