College juniors Musab Chummun and Moe Mansour have been elected as the Undergraduate Assembly’s next president and vice president.

Chummun and Mansour — who both ran unopposed — received 1,241 and 1,246 votes, respectively. The Nominations and Elections Committee announced the results on March 29 at 9 a.m. after voting closed on March 28 at 9 p.m.  

In a written statement to The Daily Pennsylvanian, Chummun reflected on his past year serving as UA Vice President, writing that the UA tackled “big goals by putting students in the room where decisions are being made.”

“Among other initiatives, we advocated against Trump’s Compact, fought against DEI cuts, pushed for clarity on ICE policies, and put more money back in students’ pockets,” Chummun wrote. “After this past year, running for UA President felt like a natural next step to help make student life better on campus.”

Mansour echoed Chummun’s sentiments, pointing to his own tenure as UA Treasurer and his role in guiding this year’s UA budget reallocation in a statement to the DP.

“Through that work, I saw firsthand what students actually need: not just advocacy, but execution. Not just ideas, but results,” Mansour wrote. “That’s the mindset I’m carrying forward into my role as Vice President. I want to take the same practical and collaborative approach I brought to the budget and apply it to the broader issues that shape student life.”

This spring’s election also decided leaders for the 2027, 2028, and 2029 Class Boards. Wharton junior Steven Li, College sophomore Eddie Mukalazi, and College first-year Daniel Kim were elected as the presidents of the 2027, 2028, and 2029 Class Boards, respectively. 

Chummun and Mansour ran on the platform “A Penn That Prioritizes You,” emphasizing their prior experience as student government leaders. Their messaging contained multiple pillars, including “fixing” student funding, fostering community, responding to “threats from the federal government,” increasing transparency and trust in student governance, and improving quality of life.

The students’ platform pointed to “recent federal uncertainty around DEI initiatives, ICE presence in Philly, open expression, and school funding,” emphasizing that “students and faculty alike have become unsure of where Penn’s priorities lie.”

“It is critical to uphold our principles and ensure every student feels understood, respected, and represented,” their campaign document read.

Looking ahead, Chummun wrote that his shared goal with Mansour is “to make Penn truly prioritize students.”

“I have no doubt we’ll make an even more tangible impact next year through a UA that is efficient, bold, and student-oriented,” he added.

Both Chummun and Mansour expressed gratitude for the support they received from Penn’s student body.

“I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported us, and I’m excited to continue this work on a larger scale,” Mansour wrote.
