Jenny Haigh, Returning Officer, explains the situation to candidates

Candidates running for University of Huddersfield Students’ Union (UHSU) council positions are waiting to hear their fate after a technical error meant Union staff were unable to check the results for the position.

Jenny Haigh, UHSU Membership Services Manager and Returning Officer for the by-elections, last night apologised to the candidates concerned and assured them that the results would be published as soon as the cause for the unknown error was resolved.

Only four candidates were running for the eight positions available but the result of the vote can not be announced without confirmation that a vote to re-open nominations (RON) was not victorious against any of the candidates.

Saiqa Ahmed, Tahira Alia, Binesh Hafiz and John Pawsey who were running for the positions are expected to receive the results later this morning.
