Overview
- The Union posted final figures of 1,228 for no confidence and 501 for confidence, with 17 spoilt ballots from 1,746 total votes.
- Counting was briefly halted over reports of intimidation of officials before resuming; a notice said all proxy votes were processed by late Monday and a 48‑hour window allows complaints.
- Abaraonye alleges the poll was compromised by mishandled proxy ballots and claims he remains president‑elect pending adjudication, assertions Union officials dispute.
- The controversy followed leaked messages in which Abaraonye appeared to celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot, prompting disciplinary proceedings and condemnation of racist abuse directed at him.
- Donor funds and speaker engagements have been paused or withdrawn, and a separate no‑confidence vote targeting current president Moosa Harraj is scheduled for Thursday.
