Oxford Union President Asked to Resign After Cheering Kirk’s Death
13th September 2025
George Abaraonye, president-elect of the University of Oxford’s debating union, is facing calls to resign after he appeared to celebrate the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, The Telegraph reported.
Abaraonye sent messages to a group chat saying, “Charlie Kirk got shot, let’s [expletive] go” and “Charlie Kirk got shot loool.”
Gregory Stafford, a Conservative MP and former treasurer of the Oxford Union, said Abaraonye has brought the society “into disrepute.”
