The Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) elections scheduled to take place today, Tuesday, July 23, 2023 at the Republic Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have been disrupted due to the disqualification of 12 candidates by the Electoral Commission (EC).
According to an insider (who want to stay anonymous), the EC disqualified the candidates because of CWA-related issues. it could be that these aspirants didn`t meet the CWA requirement for participating in the TEIN election bu still went ahead to contest. this disqualification has halted the election process. Although the TEIN EC has not released any official statement, it is likely that the elections will not happen today.
