The University of Cape Coast (UCC) has witnessed a historic moment as Abraham Norman Nortey, a 4th Year Medical Student has been elected as the 62nd SRC President with a commanding 53.4% of the total votes cast.

In a fiercely contested election, Norman triumphed over Team BenEssien, Team Appiah Kubi, and Team Stana, marking a monumental milestone in the annals of UCC politics.

This victory is particularly remarkable for several reasons:

1. Abraham Norman Nortey has become the first medical student since UCC's inception in 1962 to ascend to the SRC presidency. This achievement reflects the growing dynamism and inclusivity of student leadership at the university.

2. Norman's campaign secured victories at multiple halls, including KNH, SRC, Superannuation, Valco, Oguaa, Adehye, Graduate, and Medical/PSI. Notably, he made history by becoming the first candidate to win elections at his opponent's halls of residence, an extraordinary feat in UCC elections.

3. Norman’s leadership credentials are unparalleled, as he previously served as SRC President at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) and Graduate President for Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) Public School. His election as SRC President at UCC makes him the first individual in Ghana to hold the highest student leadership position at two different public universities.

4. Norman's victory is a testament to his resilience, strategy, and unshakable faith. His campaign slogan, "God has done it," resonated deeply with students, and the results reflect the collective hope and trust placed in him to lead the student body effectively.

The final results released by the Office of the Dean of Students show that Norman garnered an impressive 53.4% of total votes, defeating his closest rival, Team BenEssien, who secured 22.1% of votes. Team Stana-Daniel Henaku Ofori and Team Appiah Kubi trailed significantly shared the remaining percentages of votes.

Norman’s election ushers in a new era of leadership at UCC, with expectations running high for his administration to deliver on its promises. As he prepares to take office, the UCC community celebrates this groundbreaking achievement, which underscores the power of determination, innovation, and faith.

Congratulations, Abraham Norman Nortey, your victory is not just a personal triumph but a historic milestone for the entire UCC family. Indeed, history has been made.
