Flick Osborn has been announced as the winner of the race for CUSU President. 

The result, announced from the count at the Graduate Union, saw Greg Hill eliminated in the second round and George Bangham lose out in the final round, despite having led in the first round. Osborn received 1,471 votes, with Bangham just 147 votes behind. 

The contest, which officially began on Monday last week, saw controversy for Bangham over his stance on CUSU’s autonomous campaigns, and Osborn over a mistake in her manifesto and leaflets.

Voting, using the single transferable vote method, was open online on Monday and Tuesday for all undergraduate and graduate students at Cambridge, while paper voting took place in colleges on Wednesday. The voter turnout was placed at 21.42%, up one percentage point from last year.

Asked for her feelings after the win was announced, Osborn told Varsity she was "over the moon, delighted, tired from all the campaigning, but obviously so happy". She said she was "very, very happy" with her team, and said the close contests in certain categories such as Access and Welfare was reflective of the calibre of the candidates. Her celebration plan, she said, was to "go home and have a pizza with my friends". 

Also announced on Wednesday night were the results for CUSU’s other five sabbatical positions, and the Graduate Union presidency. A number of the positions were uncontested, with Lauren Steele, a second year at Christ’s, being elected CUSU Women’s Officer. Steele recieved 1,101 to RON's 107.

Jia Hui Lee was elected Education Officer unopposed with 1,719 votes, on a platform of implementing a framework for evaluating supervision standards and resources across the university.Speaking to Varsity, he said "Although I'm running uncontested, I was hoping to get a very clear mandate from the student body.

The number of votes makes me think that I've got that." Asked what his first priority on assuming the job would be, his response was that it would be to communicate with faculty reps, and making sure that they are well-informed, together with creating a University-wide evaluation system. 

The race for the presidency of the Graduate Union was embroiled in particular scandal after candidate Xin Jin was disqualified after repeated violations of CUSU Elections Committee code of conduct. His opponent Richard Jones, a PhD student in history, was elected unopposed. Only 965 graduates turned out to vote, and Jones recieved 688 votes to RON's 93.

Jones told Varsity: "I am immensely grateful for all the support I've recieved from across the university since the start of the campaign, and to the hundreds of people who voted for me. I am delighted to have beene elected and look forward to taking up the presidency in July."

Rosalyn Old, the outgoing CUSU President, was elected as a University Councillor winning by more than a thousand votes. Her opponent Vincent Scully took 515, while Old won 1663. Commenting on the victory, Old told Varsity: "There's a great atmosphere in here tonight. I'm excited to keep representing students for another year and to making sure nothing detrimental happens to students' interests."

The race for CUSU Access & Funding Officer came down to a few handful of votes and was only decided after a second round. Sam Ruiz beat Jacob Conalty with 1,036, to Conalty's 1,022. Dom Weldon was re-elected CUSU Coordinator in a contest with Julianna Yau. In the second round Weldon took 1,229, while Yau reached 1,119.

Weldon commented: "I'm absolutely delighted to be re-elected as Coordinator for Cambridge students again, I feel that we've achieved some really strong work this year to make CUSU more useful to all students on an everyday level, and I look forward to seeing those through."

Helen Hoogewerf-McComb was elected CUSU Welfare and Rights Officer with 1,202 votes to Charlie Bindels's 951. She told Varsity that she was shellshocked and stunned to have won. "I've always known that I wanted to be part of CUSU", she said. Her first priority will be to continue the work started on improving tutor training.
