Dr Emmanuel Osei has been duly elected for another four years with an 87% majority at the 63rd Session of the SEC, at Portsmouth.

The result was greeted with enthusiastic applause and cheers by the delegates and observers. A smiling Osei was invited to the stage where he was surrounded by officials and members of the Prayer Team, and a prayer was said for God's blessing and a successful new term. Osei expressed his thanks and gratitude to the Nominating Committee and the delegates for putting their trust and confidence in him. He went on to say, "By God's grace we will do our best to ensure that the will of God is done here in the South England Conference."

Pastor Douglas McCormac is re-elected Executive Secretary.

Candy Layson is elected Treasurer. She becomes the first female Treasurer of the SEC.

Layson was serving as an Associate Treasurer. She was described as "very humble" and a "reluctant prophet" by the Nominating Committee Chairman, BUC President, Ian Sweeny. Tribute and thanks was paid to Fred Shone, the previous incumbent.

Osei, McCormac and Layson make up the new Administrative Team of the SEC.
