Presidential candidate Aysha Malik and her running mate, Theo Samets, as well as the team of Lori Murphy and Lee Pedinoff advanced through the primary election on Thursday afternoon, eliminating Andrew Morse and Susan Glesier from the Vanderbilt Student Government presidential race.

Attorney General Tyler Boyd announced the results on Sarratt Promenade at about 12:30 p.m. About 44 percent of the student body voted in the election, with 56 percent of the senior class voting, the most of all the classes and 32 percent of sophomores voting, the lowest percentage.

Murphy and Pedinoff garnered the most votes at 1699, or 41.2 percent of the votes cast, while Malik and Samets received 1523 votes, roughly 37.3 percent.

Morse and Glesier received 728 votes, or 17.7 percent, Boyd said.

The final election will be held next Wednesday and Thursday between the two remaining candidate teams, with the winning duo to be announced next Thursday at 12:30 p.m. on Sarratt Promenade.
