As the campus buzz intensifies, her name is not just leading conversations; it is defining them.
Could this be the election where destiny, rather than debate, decides the outcome?

The Shift:Why Wangabira’s Momentum Is Unmatched
Elections at UCU are often characterized by last-minute shifts in alliances, strategic endorsements, and surprise upsets. However, this time, the narrative is different—the shift happened early, and it’s all pointing in one direction: Wangibra’s camp.
The reality is undeniable. Students from diverse backgrounds—mooters, activists, academics, and ordinary students—have all coalesced around her vision. Her competitors, though formidable, have struggled to ignite the same level of organic support.
Campus discussions, online debates, and informal student gatherings all reflect the same message: Wangibra isn’t just leading; she’s dominating.
