Nikki Nicolas was the sole candidate of the STAND-UP for college representative but she lost to START-AIT’s JC Danganan.

Aside from students having to transfer computers because some units can’t log them in, the elections at the Asian Institute of Tourism (AIT) was smooth sailing, said one AIT student.

Amid earlier fear of not reaching the desired voter’s turnout, the AIT College Student Electoral Board recorded a (61%) voter’s turnout, with 236 of 386 registered students voting.
