Ngwena wins second term as YUSU President

Tim Ngwena has won the position of YUSU President for the second year in a row.He becomes the first person to hold the position of YUSU president for two years.

He beat favourite candidate Oliver Hutchings, who had won the official exit poll as well as coming top of polls for Vision and Nouse. Although there were five rounds of voting, with the final vote between Ngwena and Hutchings, it became clear from the first round that Ngwena had the most support and would defy the polls.

Last year, a similar shock result came after favourite Tom Langrish was beaten by Ngwena, despite every poll predicting a Langrish win.

Ngwena said: “I never saw it coming,” but admitted he had planned to run for a second year for nearly a year.
