Right-Wing Victory in UCD SU elections

category dublin | politics / elections | news report author Friday March 03, 2006 22:12author by UCD SU member Report this post to the editors

Hayden, Curran, Colfer, Doyle and Redmond Win

Right-Wing win key positions in UCDSU. Turnout 4,400.

In Presidential race Dan Hayden (current Welfare Officer), a self described 'centrist', won with a significant majority over rivals Enda Duffy of Labour and Orla Ní Threasaigh. Hayden was backed by Fianna Fáil members and a few rogue Labour members that did not back Duffy.
In the Deputy Presidential race Labour's Dave Curran won in the uncontested election. His only opponant was the 'candidate' RON (Re-Open Nominations). Curran is the current Deputy President and he backed Hayden in this year's Presidential election over fellow party member Enda Duffy.
Fianna Fáil won the positions of Welfare Officer and Education Officer. Brian Doyle, a Commerce student, was elected Education Officer over the left-leaning Philosophy student Kate O'Hanlon. FF have won back the Education Officer position after Labour won it last year. In the Welfare race FF's Barry Colfer defeated Michelle Killeen (current Women's Officer).
In the Ents Officer election there will be a recount tomorrow. There were 6 candidates (7 if RON is counted). Dave Redmond won by 22 votes over Holly Irvine according to today's count.

Count details to follow.
