​The incumbent student leaders who spoke to the Campus Vibe revealed that in order to win their posts, they had to court supporter and ‘plant’ them strategically to win the elections. “It was easy to win the seats in the past because all you needed to do was buy liquor for male students and ice-cream for the ladies. But with the current system, you have to come up with student-friendly strategies,” the fourth-year business commerce student said. “I had to campaign to win over the students, then also campaign to win favours with the candidates for various seats. A majority of those I supported won their seats thus it was easy sailing for me,” Omondi, a fourth-year project planning and management student said.
