YUSU Presidential candidates: Shanks and Taylor out, Ngwena and Bushby in?

YUSU Elections 2009
Friday, 27th February 2009
At 4pm today, nominations for this year's YUSU elections will close and YUSU will be releasing the list of candidates shortly afterward. It is widely rumoured that Tim Ngwena and Charles Bushby will be running for President, along with Tom Langrish.
  • Tim Ngwena

Ngwena is a third-year Management student from James College and the current Chair of Fusion. He has previously been on the committees for the university rugby team and the York Entrepreneurs.

Ngwena has a vast amount of experience in graphic design, having worked as a graphic designer for both YUSU and Fusion last year.

  • Charles Bushby

Bushby is also a third-year Management student, and a member of Alcuin College. He is a member of the Boat Club, and is currently their merchandise rep.

Bushby is also a DJ for The Courtyard, and has previously worked as a DJ for Tru when it was known as Toffs. Before attending York, he studied Business Administration and International Relations at the University of Southern California.

Dan Taylor and Rory Shanks, however, have both informed The Yorker that they will not be running for President.

Taylor, a third year History and Politics student and 'campus celebrity', said: "I honestly never considered running. I have no idea where the rumour came from."

Taylor will instead be joining the army, and is off to Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in September.

Shanks also announced he did not intend to run for President, though could not give further details. It is believed he will run for another position, most likely Student Activities Officer.
