Liam Cassar stated: “We have decided not to contest for KSM elections this year, because we don’t have the guarantee that things are going to move smoothly because of certain things that happened in past years.

Although we will not be contesting for elections and will not be in KSM, our work will persist so that we are always near the student.”

From his end, Pulse President Owen Grech, expressed that like SDM, there were times where Pulse did not contest for elections, referring to the short hiatus from contesting the KSU elections, and said that every organisation has their reason for why they should not contest and it is ultimately up to the organisation.

Despite this he also mentioned and emphasised that organisations are not electoral machines and there are many ways in which an organisation can represent all the students. Representation is something that goes beyond elections and student councils.

Finally, Grech stated that from his organisation’s end, a team is ready for another term in KSM and like every other year they made sure that all students being nominated to contest have MCAST and the student’s needs at heart. He continued by expressing the fact that every year, one of the students is specifically from Gozo to make sure that all students are represented.

Owen Grech also unveiled with The Third Eye, that Ahmed Lamlum shall be contesting for the role of President for the second time in a row which Grech noted as the element of continuation in the council.
