Friday, October 17, 2025 - The Oxford Union president who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s sho0ting is set to be ousted.
George Abaraonye, 20, sparked outrage last month by posting
a WhatsApp message appearing to approve of the violence against the US
influencer.
He later deleted the message after learning of Mr Kirk’s
death, and admitted he ‘acted poorly’ without 'knowing about the situation'.
Now, the Oxford University student has triggered a
motion of no confidence against himself in a bid to reclaim ‘true
accountability’.
According to Mail Online, there will be a poll on Saturday
when Oxford Union members can vote on whether to oust him.
Mr Abaraonye is hoping enough people vote in his favour so
that he can continue in his role with renewed legitimacy.
He posted on Instagram: ‘On Saturday, 18th October, there
will be a poll of the members to decide whether or not I should be removed as
President-Elect of the Oxford Union. ‘Vote NO. As I will be doing.’
