Ghanaian artist Maradona Adjei Yeboah, better known as Guru, revealed that support from fellow musicians, including Sarkodie, LilWin, Dr. Cryme, and Stonebwoy, significantly contributed to his triumph in the University of Ghana Student Representative Council (SRC) elections.
In an interview with Hitz FM on October 8, 2024, Guru noted that Sarkodie’s endorsement was especially impactful and played a crucial role in securing his victory.
“Big shout out to Dr. Cryme, Lil Win, and other artistes who campaigned door-to-door with me. They truly helped me, and a big thank you to Stonebwoy for his endorsement when we went to GIMPA.
King Sark’s endorsement was a game-changer,” he said.
He also expressed gratitude to his fans and everyone who supported him during his campaign.
Background
Earlier this year, Guru announced his intention to run in the 2024 University of Ghana Student Representative Council (SRC) elections.
Despite facing disqualification due to his non-resident status after weeks of campaigning, the “Lapaz Toyota” artist fought back through legal challenges and successfully regained his eligibility to run for president.
Together with his running mate, Jeffery Adu-Yeboah, Guru received 50.7% of the votes, amounting to 9,455 out of approximately 18,659 cast, ultimately winning the UG SRC elections this year.
