NEW VOTE - DEADLINE 11AM THURSDAY 23RD OCTOBER BY EMAIL

Abaraonye's faction have staged a revenge no-confidence motion in the current president, Moosa Harraj. Why? Because Harraj allowed alumni to vote by proxy, and Abaraonye wants to invalidate both that decision and the votes that were cast against him. 

I therefore urge you to vote NO on the new no-confidence vote. You can submit your emailed proxy votes any time before 11am BST on Thursday, when in-person voting begins. Pleae find the template below.

Proxy Voting (Deadline: 11AM, Thursday 23rd October):

Members who cannot attend in person may register a proxy vote by emailing the Extraordinary Returning Officer.
