Ahmed Azim Wazeer and Sean Heisler were elected as student representatives of the Board of Governors (BoG), beating current Arts Undergraduate Society President Guillaume Houle, who came in third, and current President Blake Frederick, who came in last.

“I feel pretty ecstatic. I’ve always been excited about the board,” said Wazeer. “[BoG] is a very very difficult playing field and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

As a new student representative on BoG, Wazeer hopes to ensure that the matters of governance is “on the right track” with student voices being heard.

And for Houle, his loss wasn’t a disappointment. “I didn’t spend any money on my campaign,” he said. “Looking at the endorsements, I knew I would lose—but it was a great experience and I wish both candidates good luck.”

Guillaume plans to focus on his new permanent role on the SUB Renewal, the biggest project the AMS has ever initiated.

Frederick was not present at the event for comment.
