Kunwar had 37% of The Yorker vote, which was open to all registered members of the website and was closed before official voting opened on Monday.
As for his competitors: Laura Payne took second place with 28% of the vote; Mad Capt' Tom had 27%; whilst the ever-elusive RON had 5%.
The vote shows the race to the SU could be one of the closest in recent years.
Respective Facebook groups show the opposite result, with Tom having 606 members in his "1000 strong for Mad Capt'n Tom: We want a Pirate SU President" whilst his competitors trail with Kunwar having 332 members and Payne with 327.
106 votes were cast on the poll over a 3-day period.
Voting for positions is now open here with results announced on Friday evening at the Results Night event hosted in Derwent.
Maybe I should clarify a few things:
As a Non-Op Director, Nadz is only ever expected to turn up to Directors meetings. If anything, taking part in journalistic meetings would go against the whole principle of a non-op Director. He's not supposed to be known amongst The Yorker members, he's suppose to offer impartial advice on the direction the company is taking.
Also, although still an active member of The Yorker, Dan Ashby is no longer Editor and therefore no longer a Director. However you can still contact the current Editors, Ruth and myself, at the same address: editor [at] theyorker.co.uk
Thank you all for your comments, keep the debates going.
It's not surprising that Nads leads The Yorker poll. A lot of his mates are involved in it, and accordingly a lot of his mates read this website. That's not to say he won't win the actual vote - I really don't know.
LAURA PAYNE is the best candidate for PRESIDENCY !!
