GIJ weekend students go to the polls on Saturday to elect their SRC Executives for the 2012/13 academic year.
According to the Electoral Commission voting will begin at 7 GMT and end at exactly 16 00 GMT on campus.
Eight (8) students have put themselves up to contest for six executive positions. However four of these positions have one aspirant each running for them; Bayor Raymond Yeldidong is going unchallenged for the position of SRC President with Godfred Gogo, Gyan Enock and Philip Atawura have their candidature unchallenged.
Former GA Speaker Godfred Tawiah Gogo is running solely for the office of General Secretary while the assertive Gyan Enock is expected to be endorsed by the students body after he emerged as the only runner for the External Affairs Commissioner position.
The soft-spoken Philip Atawura is hoping to secure the nod to get to the office of Organising Secretary.
The EC gave the green light for aspirants to official launch their campaigns after the Vetting Committee declared all aspirants eligible to run for their various positions.
The fate of the heated race between Miss Gifty Amevor and Freda Dedzie will initially be known on Saturday as results will be announced by the EC.
However, the winner of Saturday's polls cannot afford jubilation yet as the weekend population form just a small quota of the whole student population.
Isaac Kofi Batini will have to fend off competition from a last-gasp contestant Selina Owusu Nyamekye. Little has been seen of Miss Selina's campaign with her constituents somehow unknown.
The general atmosphere has been calm during campaigning and politicking. A public vetting was held on Thursday. Students had the opportunity to quiz aspirants on their campaign promises and aims and vision.

Joscelyne Ahiable leads the team.
