Below is the first half of the update for the election, this is a rough draft and by no means near completion. I just wanted to get it posted for discussion as I'm currently waiting to hear back from Anumia with his list of things he would like covered.
Also, Kraken, what would you like to see in this update? It seems the last two weeks were kind slow with the elections occupying most people's time.
It's election time again here in Europeia, and this time around we find three term president Anumia deciding not to run. Two challengers stood for election to the office of president. Kraketopia with Pope Lexus X as his VP, and Drecq, with Elias Greyjoy as his VP. After several days of campaigning and an interesting debate. Forty-one Europeians turned out to vote in what started as a very close race. Initial polls showed an almost even divide between the two candidates, and early opinions were split on who would actually take the Goldenblock this term.
However, after several hours of voting it became clear that Kraketopia would become the next president of the Republic, and with a final tally of twenty-five votes to sixteen. Kraken managed to secure his first term as president after only seven months of residence in Europeia. Following his election his ministerial cabinet was confirmed Sunday, the 25th. Except for position of GA, with his appointee facing scrutiny, but expecting to be confirmed following a by election to fill the Senate seat vacated by the election of President Kraketopia.
President Kraketopia's new cabinet is as follows.
Foreign Cultivation – Lethen
Foreign Affairs – Anumia
Culture – Zenny
Interior – Dreqc
Communications – Yuri Razhtigr
Grand Admiral – Seven Deaths
Attorney General - Hyanjo
As it stands now, only Common-Sense Politics has stood for election to Senate, though several other names have been mentioned as possible contenders. It remains to be seen who will be standing when the polls open tomorrow.
In other news, long time Chief Justice, and newly elected VP Pope Lexus X reached the end of his term and CJ and resigned his post to focus on his new job as VP. After his many efforts to bring Europeian law to newcomers, his work has greatly increased interest in the judiciary and the abilities of those who aspire to practice law within. Including running the judicial training center where several lectures and workshops have been maintained by him.
Malashaaan has been nominated as a new associate justice to fill the set on the bench vacated by PLX's move to the Goldenblock. Malashaan is very qualified to serve in this role having previously held several high ranking positions, most recently as VP under president Anumia. His past experience includes, but is not limited to two terms as AG, eight terms as senator, with seven as the speaker, and a previous term as associate justice.
