Fletcher re-elected as NUS President
Kat Fletcher has won a second term as NUS President. Delegates at the union’s annual conference overwhelmingly voted to keep her on, giving her 536 votes – a massive 433 more than her nearest competitor, Suzie Whylie. In third place was Michael Champion with 76 votes and RON (re-open nominations) with 30.
Speaking afterwards, she said that she was delighted, adding (after what we assume was a deep breath): "This is not just a vote for an individual, but a vote for a changing NUS that is delivering to its members and responding to their calls for reform in order to ensure a strong and proactive campaigning national union for the students of today and tomorrow."
Over a thousand students are attending the conference, which is being held in Blackpool. It draws to a close tomorrow.
