David Adewumi and his running mate Sri Pisupati decided not to attend the first of the two UPUA Presidential Debates on Monday night held in Alumni Hall. The other three tickets (Bard-Lennartz, Salters-Quinn and Grimes-Wentz) were present for the event.
Adewumi, who ran for the presidency last year, is thought to not be attending because of a meeting he already scheduled for his initiative, ONEPSU, which will be taking place in Thomas Building at 9:00 p.m. He did not inform the UPUA Elections Committee of his absence until right before the debate which is why his spot was left empty as the debate started. Adewumi and Prisupati later released a blog post and tweets explaining their absence.
