Rouhanifard and Albright received 1,139 of the votes in the runoff election, accounting for 68.5 percent of the total votes cast.
The pair beat out Tinu Akintola and David McIntosh, who garnered 524 votes in the senior class election.
The announcement of the election results concluded four weeks of campaigning, and Rouhanifard and Albright marked the end of their efforts by quickly embracing.
Rouhanifard said that hug will stand out in his mind when he reflects on the campaign's final moment. "I just told him, 'Thanks for doing this with me,'" Rouhanifard said. "We both thanked each other for sticking this out to the very end."
The two running mates have formerly worked together organizing events for Carolina Cancer Focus, and they said they are looking forward to collaborating in a new role.
Albright said he and Rouhanifard spent the seconds before the announcement reflecting on the weeks of work their supporters have put into the campaign.
"It was probably only five seconds, but it felt like an eternity," Albright said. "Before and after the announcement was made, we thought of these amazing people who helped us out."
Akintola and McIntosh reacted calmly to the announcement and were quick to congratulate their opponents.
Moments after the announcement, Akintola echoed the praise Rouhanifard had for campaign supporters. "I'll remember all the great people who helped us out," Akintola said. "It was a great opportunity to work with such fantastic people."
