She secured a commanding win with a margin of more than 6,000 votes over her closest contender, Obeng Kelvin Fosu, underscoring strong confidence from the student body.
Jude Michelle will lead the SRC alongside her running mate, Nana Kwame Oppong Antwi, from the College of Engineering, who was elected as Vice President.
