Latest of such, is a threat of disqualification of one of the most formidable pairs in the keenly contested elections, Ewura Adams Karim and Nana Akua Busia who are rumoured have to been taken off the ballot papers.

According to an anonymous source, the said withdrawal of the students from the elections is as a result of the aspirants' refusal to pay a fine of GHC 1000 to the Dean of Students of the University for hanging banners and pasting posters illegally in the school.

However, legal brains of the student body have expressed their discontention to the said disqualification saying no such authority has been given to the Dean per statutory regulations of the University irrespective of any rules flouted.
