A total of 23 candidates have shown their intent to run for the upcoming College of Architecture Student Council (Arki SC) elections, with independent bet Andrei Florendo Balanag clashing against incumbent councilor Denver Jett Bautista Fajanilan of Student Alliance for the Advancement of Democratic Rights in UP (STAND UP) for the SC’s top post.
Independent candidate Noel Ingersol G. Castro will also face off against STAND UP’s Richard Pagaduan for the position of the Arki Representative to the USC.
STAND UP also fielded unopposed candidates for two vice-chairperson (VC) positions: Bethany Farrah Y. Pascua and Kristine H. Rayco for VC for Internals and Externals, respectively. Meanwhile, only seven candidates will vie for eight councilor’s position.
