Watch Guru's interview, as shared on X:

Guru's political ambition appears rooted in his earlier life in student leadership.

During the interview, he spoke at length about his tenure as president of the University of Ghana Students' Representative Council, presenting it as proof that he can deliver results for ordinary people.

Among his claimed achievements, he referenced work on student welfare, health access, water supply, and scholarship programmes.

He also said his engagement with university management, the relevant ministry, and government officials played a role in securing a 25 per cent reduction in fees for traditional halls of residence.

Additionally, he highlighted efforts to secure funding towards an SRC hostel as part of a broader push to improve accommodation options for students.
