Class of GE2020: What the candidates' yearbook descriptions would be like

The class of GE2020 is the largest ever with 192 candidates and there are quite a few colourful characters among them.

With the campaigning period almost over, it'll soon be time to say goodbye to some of them.

To commemorate the 'great' times we've had with them over the last few weeks, we've put together a little something that's tongue-in-cheek to remember this year's most memorable candidates.

So if they were all students in the same class, here's what we think their GE2020 Yearbook descriptions would be.
