I remember

Manabu already stated that somewhere to Kiyotaka between vol 6-7.5.

Nevertheless, it again was confirmed in Vol.9 page 15 and the story flow that  Manabu declining her once causing the vice president to contact and get hold of her secret, then invite her through reccomendation method.

BTW, as I stated, that time Manabe also mentioned that he declined but did not permanently ban Katsuragi and Ichinose from reapplying. Thus it's possible for Ichinose to be in the council via the vice.
