A Better Concordia sweeps CSU elections

A Better Concordia swept this year's Concordia Student Union elections.

All of its candidates were voted into office even though students could have voted for candidates from both teams. 

But it was close.

Schubert Laforest won with just 28 more votes than Mel Hotchkiss for president.

This result is subject to a recount.

It was not a smooth road to office for Laforest and A Better Concordia.

He and VP Academic and Advocacy elect Lucia Gallardo were disqualified early in the campaign for allegedly not being registered students. They were eventually re-instated by the Judicial Board, but with just one full day left to campaign.

Students also voted to give Concordia’s health food market Le Frigo Vert an extra $0.08 per credit.

Official results will be posted online as soon as they are received from CEO Ismail Holoubi.
