Seun stood in front of the ballot box and thought hard. Of the three candidates contesting for the presidency, he couldn't think of one who was more qualified than the others.
Chuks was brilliant and had an easy going character, but the same could be said of Ade and Juliet. Ade was a more popular figure however, because his dad once headed the University Alumni association. The name Balogun alone, could pull a lot of votes in his favor.
And Juliet; she was a female but that didn't necessarily put her at a disadvantage. Rather, It actually felt like a positive for her, as all the feminist inclined associations seemed to stand behind her during the electoral debates. If she didn't win, It would definitely not be from a lack of support.
It dawned on Seun that Chuks was the most likely to lose among the candidates. As he thought more about it, he felt pity for him. A brilliant student who was tailor made for the post. His only flaw being that his competitors had more social pull.
Seun sighed and casted his ballot. One grain he thought, but so did many others.
Chuks would be sworn-in tomorrow...
