A surprising turn of events took place in the Institute on the night of 6^th November, 2020.  In many instances, student elections are highly contested. The prospect of winning student elections in many institutions of higher learning carries with it some air and prestige, such that these are often highly contested. This year however, the NIPA community was stunned that the student elections went unopposed.

What makes the candidates so special that they were unopposed?

The 2021 NIPA Student (NIPASU) Elections were successfully held on November 7^th, 2020 at Main Campus and Burma Road Campus. The swearing in ceremony took place on 13^th November, 2020.

The student representatives for Ndola Satellite were elected on December the 2^nd, 2020. During this week, the student union representatives at Ndola Campus and select members of the overall Student Union seized the opportunity of a shortened election period to meet with counterparts at the Copperbelt University (CBU).

The students took time to distribute flyers and brochures to members of the public in Kitwe, in a bid to entice more potential students to enroll at NIPA.
