The election, which held across the three campuses of the institution on March 26, saw Dr. Ndifon, a lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication, affirmed as the sole candidate from the teaching category with 452 votes. Comrade Ukam, representing the non-teaching category, defeated three other candidates with 366 votes.

Prof. Thomas Ojikpong, Chairman of the Election Committee who announced the results noted that Dr. Emmanuel Eta, who contested from the teaching category, was disqualified based on a court order restraining him and others from participating in the election.
