During the calls for election, we had received the following nominations:</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Prior to holding the elections, Mwendwa Kivuva withdrew leaving only three remaining candidates. Prior to hosting the elections and preparing ballot papers, we had to verify and check our subscriber database to ensure that things were in order prior to sending the ballot papers. There were some subscribers who had moved and so had inactive email accounts. We had to clean these as well. We also noted that there were some who were subscribe to the mailing list but did not have IGC accounts by registering on the site. We received feedback from some of the subscribers that they did not get ballot papers. The estimated number of subscribers to the mailing list is around 600. The estimated number of account holders who are both subscribed to the mailing list and have IGC accounts is around 400. The number of people who voted was 276. During the elections, we received “Out of Office” responses from a few.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

To all those who exercised their right to vote or to abstain, thank you. Special thanks to ALL the amazing candidates who participated. Special thanks to Imran Ahmed Shah for his continuous commitment to make a difference in his community in Pakistan and also in global forums.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
