Newly elected Student Council and class council officers were announced last night as candidates gathered in Newcomb Hall to await results.

Third-year College student Darius Nabors was elected Student Council President with 2,779 students ranking him as their first choice in the second round of instant runoff voting, defeating second-place finisher Greg Jackson.

Nabors gave a short speech after his victory was announced, congratulating election winners and encouraging all candidates to stay involved with the University.

Second-year College student Nicholas Jordan was elected executive vice president, while third-year College student Anna Popova was elected vice president for organizations.

Second-year College student Jeffrey McLaughlin was elected vice president for administration as he claimed 2,493 first-choice votes, over former VPA Okey Udumaga, who earned 1,896. Udumaga left his position last month after fellow members of Council's executive board said they had asked him to resign for failing to appropriately perform the tasks of the VPA position.

In addition, first-year students Samrawit Feleke and Erin Goldson and second-year students Eric Howlett and Victoria Ingenito were elected Council's College representatives.
