After 16 months of speculation as to who the candidates on the Student Ticket will be, the public has finally learned all 250 names on it. Some of the most prominent figures who were expected to be on the ticket are not among them, and whether that will affect the ticket’s election result and to what extent is difficult to assess at this time. The start of the election campaign and the submitting of the Student Ticket to the Electoral Commission were accompanied by quite a bit of euphoria in the segment of the public that favors the rebel university students, but there has also been some criticism at the expense of certain candidates on social media.
