Haruna Yussif – a former Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) President of AUCB who contested the Student Representative Council (SRC) Presidency election and lost was on his first day appearance in court left stranded.
The gentleman who has decided to seek redress at the Accra High Court after he lost the SRC elections held few weeks ago was seen in a bizarre shock and frustrated facial expression like a child the mother has escaped to a hideout and therefore sad at the court early Wednesday morning.
Reporters at the court saw Haruna left frustrated and embarrassed after his lawyer failed to appear for proceedings connected to his disputed 2026 SRC presidential elections.
When he was asked about the whereabout of his counsel, Haruna got up shuddering and answered in the open court to the hearing of everyone present that, “my lawyer has gotten an emergency.”
Mr. Yussif arrived at the court premises early and appeared confident ahead of the hearing, only to be left stranded for hours when his legal representative failed to show up.
Eyewitnesses at the court described the scene as tense and emotional as the young politician who many have also describe as very disrespectful and has no sanity for his fellow human moved in and out of the courtroom making frantic phone calls.
Court officials and judge were later forced to adjourn proceedings after it became clear that counsel for the petitioner was absent and not available to move the case forward.
The unexpected development has so far left some AUCB students disappointed, especially after weeks of too much noise from Mr. Yussif camp ahead of the court hearing.
They describe the actions of Mr. Yussif refusing to accept his defeat as worrying which they say raises serious concerns and setback to permit the winner of the election to perform her duties diligently for the student’s body.
The frustration on the face of Mr. Yussif was not left there alone, he took his disappointment to rant on his Whatsapp status, stating that, “UNLESS I SAY I WON’T. THIS, I WILL WITH THE LAST DROP IN ME”.
