The Interim President of the USP Students Association Lepani Naqarase will represent USPSA at today’s special meeting of the USP Council.

This is following the resignation of Joseph Sua from his position as the Chair and President of University of the South Pacific Students Association.

The USPSA says Sua’s resignation was primarily on the basis of him moving back to the Solomon Islands.

Ir says while they were aware that students remained registered between end of a semester to the starting of another until the deregistration period, Sua’s account was deregistered on Saturday meaning he is no longer a registered student.

With this, Sua’s membership of USP Council has been hindered as a result of him moving back to Solomon Islands.

The USPSA Executive Committee has appointed Lepani Naqarase as the interim Chair and President of USPSA until such a time USPSA Council meets and holds elections.
