The Elections Office has confirmed that independent candidate Oluwatobi Oriola dropped out of the Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) elections on Feb. 6.

Oriola said he dropped out of the elections due to illness and being busy with school.

Oriola was running for a position as vice-president (finance). The only other candidate, Luke Taylor, is running under the One Carleton slate. The position is now running uncontested.

With Oriola exiting the race, of the six executive positions up for grabs, there are now four positions that are uncontested.
