The turnout for the 2023 election was higher than the turnout for the two previous elections. A 53.9% turnout was recorded this year, compared to 53.2% in 2022.

As a student studying financial management at the Ga-Rankuwa Campus, Morena Modiselle said the elections helped her understand her role on campus and what leadership involves. In order to sell themselves to students, political structures must display the activism on campus when they are campaigning.

Students are now able to exercise their constitutional right to vote, according to SAED Executive Director Dr Shadrack Nthangeni. “I appreciate the university management’s decision to conduct classes online as a tool to ensure free and fair elections,” he said.

Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Alan Campbell and Chief Electoral Officer Thobile Thomas from KDBS Consulting are announcing the preliminary results of the election. A study at the institution showed that the EFFSC (Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command) led the way.

As a result of the consolidated ISRC results, EFFSC was ranked first with 14 206 votes and allocated four seats. SCO had 374 votes in total, earning one seat, while SASCO received 9 542 votes, gaining two seats.
