Message from former contestant of Naath Students Union’s president in Juba
Dear Naath Students,
Good morning.
I should have written this yesterday, but I arrived home late due to numerous engagements after the election.
I want to thank all the delegates and the students who did not make it to the delegates for showing their intellectuality during the Naath Students' Union election process.
I also thank my supporters who worked hard to ensure our success in the election.
Although we did not win, that is how elections go. I ask you to work with boum and come together and fulfill our mission of uniting the NASU.
My dear brothers and sisters, I congratulate the winner, my brother Mr. Buom, and the other candidates. I wish them all the best in managing our students' affairs.
Additionally, I will try to organize a time for my team and me to congratulate Mr. Buom in person to officially show our respect for the decision made by the delegates in choosing the leaders who will guide us.
Best regards,
Kuach Andrew Gatkuoth
Former Contestant for the Presidency of the NASU
