Engineer Dr. Jamaal-Deen Kukura has been elected as the Tamale Technical University (TaTU) Alumni National President after months of strategic and vigorous campaigning.

Dr. Jamaal-Deen, who is a senior lecturer at the university, went into the contest with two other intellectuals and polled a commanding total of 244 votes.

Mr. Mohammed Yunusa, who came in second on the result chart, garnered 64 votes, while Mr. Abdullah Mohammed Yussif secured 19 votes. However, he opted out of the elections an hour before midday, citing personal reasons for the decision.

The remaining aspirants went unopposed, including Ms. Zenab Sayibu, National Women Coordinator; Dr. Adam Isaahaku, General Secretary; Baba Alhassan, Vice President; and Alhassan Abdul-Latif Napari, Organizing Secretary.

Meanwhile, the newly elected executives have received several congratulatory messages from the university authorities, associations, students, chiefs, friends, and several others.

The President-elect, in a brief statement after the declaration by the Electoral Commissioner and the returning officer of the election, Dr. Jamaal-Deen, called for tolerance and togetherness among members of the association, stating that the focus now should be centred on development.

Among the congratulatory messages, the Dagbon Students' Association (DASA) of the University expressed hope that the expertise and passion of the new leadership will propel the institution to greater heights.

"To our President-elect, Dr. Jamaal-Deen, we offer our warmest congratulations on your well-deserved election. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the executive team as well; your diverse skills and experiences will undoubtedly enrich the association's decision-making processes and initiatives. Your success will be the success of the association, and we are ready to offer you the needed support in achieving excellence," the association said in a press statement.
