My Experiences of Election in Eka

Experiences of Election

Eka election was on 26th June at 2:30pm after lunch, and I was elected as the vice-captain of the school. I am thrilled with my win! I felt happy when my friends congratulated me on my win. My parents were very proud knowing I am a vice-captain.

It's also interesting that Priyanka is the green captain and Rithvik is an adventurous house captain who won in a debate. I even got a certification card for the election and the vote mark on my finger, which are cool mementos of the day. Rahul Mallya is the cultural captain, Kavya is the school captain, Mahesh is the maverick house captain, and Aden is the Knights house captain. The event was filled with excitement, responsibility, and teamwork. Students from various levels came together to cast their votes and support their favorite candidates.
