Adam Skrzymowski has been re-elected as VP Societies. Skrzymowski thanked his campaign team, and also congratulated his “amazing” competitors Ben Cavasi and Aadi Nandedkar.

“I’m really excited to see where we can take [societies]”, Skrzymowski said in his victory interview with RAW. Maybe we’ll be hearing a rendition of Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’ from the VP Societies tonight – his go-to karaoke song.

7:02pm

We’re on a short break here at the Duck! If you’re following at home, grab yourself a drink, just like the candidates and student media teams will no doubt be doing here.

As the first part of the announcements come to a close, the winning Part-Time Officer candidates were as follows: 

Widening Participating Officer: Edden El-Hashahar

Environment and Ethics Officer: Marilou Schini Panagiotou

Women’s Officer: Zoë Holloway

LGBTQUIA+ Officer: Willow Brown

Ethnic Minorities Officer: Zaynab Ul-Haq

7:00pm

The next Ethnic Minorities Officer will be Zaynab Ul-Haq. Ul-Haq thanked everyone who voted for and supported her in her speech.

6:54pm

Willow Brown is to become the next LGBTQUIA+ Officer. Brown kept their speech short, but remarked they are looking forward to making “the SU gay again”.

6:50pm

Zoë Holloway has been elected as the next Women’s Officer. “I’m really excited to represent all of the women at Warwick,” Holloway said upon accepting her victory.

6:47pm

The Environment and Ethics Officer election has been won by Marilou Schini Panagiotou, beating five other candidates for the position. Walking onto the stage to the backing of Glee’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’, Panagiotou remarked that she was “thrilled” to be elected to the position.

“I’m so thrilled to make the University green, I have a lot of ideas,” she said.

6:42pm

Edden El-Hashahar has been elected as Warwick SU’s next Widening Participation Officer. El-Hashashar was absent from Results Night, so did not make a speech.

6:40pm

The results of the Part-Time Officer elections will be announced first. Five PTO positions have been contested this week: Widening Participating Officer, Environment and Ethics Officer, Women’s Officer, LGBTQUIA+ Officer, and Ethnic Minorities Officer.

No candidates run for either Trans Students’ Officer or Disabled Students’ Officer. These elections will be reopened in the Summer Election period.

6:38pm

Results Night has begun! Results for all thirteen contested positions are set to be announced over the next hour and a half (or so).

6:15pm

This year’s Results Night is taking place in The Dirty Duck, where campaign teams are gathering, eager to hear the results of the elections. The Duck is a sea of green, with party hats, glasses, and feather boas everywhere you look. Kazoos have also been handed out – providing a questionably tuneful musical accompaniment. Results are to be announced from 6.30pm.

5:00pm

After a week of campaigning, polls have now closed in the SU Spring Officer Elections. Candidates hoping to become Warwick SU’s next Full-Time and Part-Time Officers can do no more.

6,870 students cast their votes this year, up 480 from 6,390 last year. Turnout was 25% of the student population.
