Sylvester Mensah Jr has been elected next year’s AMS VP administration.
He defeated opponent Aidan Wilson in a race fought over room bookings, environmental sustainability and support for clubs.
Mensah, an AMS executive newcomer, was excited to begin his term.
“I’m glad that students believed in me,” he said.
When asked what the first thing he will do in office is, he took a jab at his opponent’s platform of adding green spaces to the Nest.
“[I’m going to] bring some trees so I can bring Aidan’s dreams to life,” said Mensah.
Mensah ran on a platform of student empowerment by improving consultation with undergraduate societies, supporting clubs and engaging student groups on a new sustainability policy.
During his term, Mensah will oversee the to-be-determined replacement for the Clubhouse system, as well as negotiations between the AMS and the Interfraternity Council on the future of their relationship.
Sylvester Mensah Jr previously served on the The Ubyssey’s Board of Directors, but resigned shortly before the AMS elections campaigning period began. The Board of Directors does not influence the decisions of content editors.
