President interview: Gavin Jones

The race for the rather odd shaped office has come down to two contenders, the first of which is Gavin Jones. Dejla Kadhim spoke to the Television production student about his campaign to be President of UCLan Students’ Union.

Why do you want to stand for the position?

I’m very passionate about the university and I’m prepared to represent the university to the highest ability, meeting the needs of future students and primarily to make a rewarding difference to UCLan.

Sarah Edwards drops out of election

It’s a morning of dropping out. Sarah Edwards has reportedly dropped out of the race to be the new President of UCLan Students’ Union.

In a message to her Facebook group she said: “Hi guys, Thanks for all your support so far. I have decided to withdraw from the elections due to a change in circumstances next year. Please remember to vote in the elections on Monday!”

This leaves Gavin Jones and Chris Ward to fight it out, for Chris Ward it’s the second time he’s been in a direct run-off for the position.
