Prempeh College finally went to the polls on Friday. Though the turn out
was not all that impressive following the delay of the elections, the
prefects who are
to man the affairs of the college are in now.
The elections that were to be
held
last term got postponed due to the incovenience the academic calendar posed. The form threes needed a distraction-free atmosphere
to write their exams so the need to have chosen the prefects last term.
That notwithstanding, the people to see the college to its zenith from now
until 2008
were voted for on Friday. Not all the students voted as some had gone home
on exeat.
Others also were seriously studying but the major cause of the low votes was
the absence
of the form threes. Some of them were seen studying in their room while the
elections were ongoing.
Others also just did not "care" as they felt they are completing school and
do not have
anything to do with the leadership of the college.
In the end, there was a smooth and calm election. We wish the prefects the
best of luck.
