Prempeh College went to the polls on April Fool Day to elect new prefects
who will manage the college's affairs next term
as the reign of David Nimo comes to an end. The elections which was to take
place months ago even before the super-zonals
athletic competition did not come off until Monday.
The boys were informed of
it at morning assembly and the elections took place in the
afternoon of the day.
After the prefects all mounted the stage to read
their manifestoes to the students, the voting started at the forecourt
while that of the House prefects took place in the various house common
rooms.
It was a day for the Serwaa and Opoku Ware boys who achieved so much than expected. The last time a Senior prefect came
from Serwah was the days of Dabo Richard aka "Oreke" - a very popular figure
in the late nineties of Prempeh College. Oreke was popular
because he was eloquent but very stern. He caused a controversy when he was
demoted but was later called to deliver the prefects speech
at Prempeh College's Golden Jubilee celebration by Mr Sekyere.
First Assistant Senior Prefect-elect Bonsu Osei Abeyie Jr
After the elections, the names of the BIG 8 at Prempeh as it is now used to
describe them are:
SENIOR PREFECTS
1st. Basoah Samuel (Serwaa house)
2nd. Bonsu Osei Abeyie Jr (Opoku Ware house)
3rd. Samuel Asare (Opoku Ware).
There was a tie with the Library and Entertainment prefects, so voting for
the
positions will be next term as the college did not deem it fit to go for the
second round since exams was in session.
Prempeh.org
will publish the full list of both the external and internal prefects soon.
We wish the boys the best of luck and they should rule with their
head and heart with our "collapsing" school on their minds.
