Results are in and the new Student Government Association (SGA) President has been elected. Benjamin Solis and Olin Grant Parker won the majority of votes as a result of the run-off election held Wednesday and Thursday.

According to SGA, Solis and Parker received 485 votes, while Leveille and Hunker received 383 votes.

“I am relieved and grateful,” Solis said. “I am looking forward to working together with everyone next year.”

Even though more appeals were made during this run-off, they were all dropped by the Elections Commission, SGA President Heather Gibbons said. The candidates all agreed to the dismissal of the appeals.

Solis will officially take office at this upcoming turn-over meeting, Gibbons said. The meeting will be the last senate meeting, held on Tuesday, May 3 at 6 p.m., when Gibbons and her administration will step down and make way for the Solis administration.

“I am very excited that all our hard work paid off,” Parker said. “I am very thankful that everyone came out to vote for either side.”

With no SGA presidential candidate winning the majority vote, a re-election took place between Ben Solis and Dave Leveille. (Harry Tanielyan/The Chronicle)
