Kris Bajada’s resignation from UESA has sparked rumours of his candidacy for KSU President
UESA has officially announced Kris Bajada’s formal resignation from the executive team where he previously held his place as board member for the past year. UESA did not give any reasons to justify the resignation whilst Bajada himself is yet to give any public statement regarding his resignation or any future candidacy. As of now, he has only shared the statement posted by UESA.
Bajada has technically run for KSU President to no avail for the past 2 years as an Independent candidate, albeit last year he dropped out half way through campaigning. Aside from being involved in student activism throughout his student life, Bajada has also been very vocal about his wishes to see an ‘independent KSU’.
KSU has never seen an independent President or a independent majority in the council, whilst SDM has always held a majority within the council. Bajada’s and any other independent candidature would come as a fresh face in the students’ council electoral scene, giving an opportunity for new voices to be heard beyond any organisational thresholds.
Upon contacting Kris Bajada in regards to his resignation he revealed no further information or plans for candidacy. This being said, this article stands as pure speculation arising from Bajada’s past endeavours in the student political scene at University.
