Cover design and Author
The just ended SRC election at the University of Ghana was characterized by intense drama that caught the attention of the entire country.
The book captures events prior to the build up of the SRC elections, the elections itself, the major factors that underpinned the election and the events that unfolded after the declaration of the results in picturesque detail.
Speaking to Univers News, Author of the book, Joseph Ackah-Blay shared his motivation behind writing the book, “I have wondered for some time now, how the tales of the period(election period) could be kept.
This was the reason why I tried to report every issue that cropped up in print”. He sounded a clarion call for reflections and debate on the issue raised “There is still the need for a review of the events, it is imperative for a writer of the time to chronicle events and pass an opinion where necessary”
In his foreword to the book, Alhaji Dr. Abubakari Sidick Ahmed, a veteran broadcaster and Station manager of Radio Univers writes, “…much as the insights of the complexities of the elections will provoke the conscience of the reader as to the democratic future of Ghana and the role of the student, it also serves as a fountain of knowledge in which we may draw meaningful lessons to guide how we elect our leaders in future”
The reviews the book has enjoyed from students from the university community and beyond on social media is reassuring. Below are a few of them.
“Now, this is a book I look forward to. Thanks Kofi Frimpong Ackah-Blay for having this insight”. – Robert D’almeida, Former SRC PRO.

Cover Design
The hopes of many students of Ghana to lay hands on this great piece that documents the thrills and drills that came with the just ended SRC elections may however be dashed due to financial constraints.
Speaking to Univers News, Head of Brands and Marketing, Caleb Kudah said, ‘ I am excited about the finish. All is set for the launch early next semester. Our partners- Hetura Books have been helpful type setting and designing the cover. All we need now is funding to help print the books for the market. He therefore appealed all and sundry to “donate generously towards this cause”.
