The members of the 3rd assembly had been dissolved in order to swear in the 4th assembly members at exactly 3:30 pm before the commencement of the main event, the Education Students Representative Council election.
However, there was a disagreement between the electoral committee and the representatives of the qualified members.
All efforts of the UCJ FUOYE correspondent to speak with the electoral committee were in vain as they refused to disclose what led to the disagreement.
Nevertheless, the election was postponed after more than two-thirds of the members agreed to the postponement of the election, with the committee promising to release a memo to communicate the date of the election.
The school Chief Security Officer in an interview with the UCJ FUOYE reporter said the two bodies lack proper arrangement.
