DORA Mered­ith was crowned Pres­i­dent in front of a packed Debat­ing Hall on Sat­ur­day evening, with a sec­ond round major­ity of 819.

Mered­ith accu­mu­lated 2461 votes to Nick Petrie’s 1642 after the sec­ond round, that saw Shar­make Abyan elim­i­nated ear­lier on.

It was revealed that the votes cast for James Williams, who was dis­qual­i­fied after the close of bal­lots on Fri­day, would be redis­trib­uted based on pref­er­ence votes.
