The Appellate Board held today to hear Krishna Omkar's appeal against the tribunal verdict that found him guilty of electoral malpractice, disqualifying him from any future Union elections, has upheld the majority of the original tribunal's findings, Cherwell24 has learned.
The appeal process is still ongoing, as the Appellate Board will now investigate the sentencing process and the eligibility of candidates to stand in the re-poll that must now happen at the start of Hilary Term. It has been suggested that under the original tribunal stipulations, the only eligible candidate may be Charlotte Fischer, although Union sources were unable to confirm this.
