The new LSESU General Secretary told our live feed: “I’m relieved, that’s the word to say… I’ve had the hardest race i’ve ever had.”

Regarding his new collegue, Rob Low, he said: “Rob Low is not going to be able to handle the level of banter I’m going to bring to him”

He then apologised for “not being very cogent”, saying: “I’m very very very spaced out.”

Fisher closed by saying: “It’s been a fantastic evening, this has shown what the SU can be, 2000 people have voted, that’s fantastic.”
