The following candidates have announced their intentions to run for Mordusia's highest office Sean Martin - Neoliberal Party Chairman, Congressman from Sayoon Josh Cooke - Minister for Trade and Industry from Hosamia Liam Stanton - Congressman from Sammodra The Neoliberal Party Constitution states that presidential primaries will be held in the following way: Sammodra, Hosamia, and Sayoon will each have 400, 375, and 350 delegates respectively, and two of them must allocate delegates in a proportional, based on voting, manner. The third province, whichever the Neoliberal Party committee on elections (NPCE) decides, shall be winner take all. The provinces of of Talasor and Adubura will both have 300 delegates each, and one of the two provinces will allocate 65% of delegates to the first place winner, and 35% of delegates to the 2nd place winner. To win the nomination, 850 delegates must be won by one the candidate, or else a contested convention will be held. The NPCE has decided that Sayoon and Talasor shall be the states with special delegate appropriations. The primary schedule goes as follows: Hosamia (375 delegates) will be first, followed by Sayoon (300 Delegates), Sammodra (400 delegates), Adubura (300 delegates), and ending with Talasor (300 delegates). A debate will be held before the first province\'s primary, and then one after Sammodra\'s primary. Initial polling: Sean Martin - 46% Josh Cooke - 19% Liam Stanton - 10% Undecided - 25% The debates were hosted and televised by the Chronicles of Mordusia. After debate polling: Sean Martin- 44% Josh Cooke - 24% Liam Stanton - 11% Undecided - 21% After a week of campaigning, the Hosamia primary took place. The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Josh Cooke - 45%, 169 delegates Sean Martin - 44% 165 delegates Liam Stanton - 11%, 41 delegates This was a surprise victory for Minister Cooke. Polls showed he was around 2%-3% behind front-runner Sean Martin, but at the last minute Cooke pulled off a victory in his home state. The candidates continue campaigning until the Sayoon primary, where the winner will take all. The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Sean Martin - 62%, 300 delegates Josh Cooke - 31% Liam Stanton 7% The candidates continue campaigning until the Sammodra primary. The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Sean Martin - 37%, 148 delegates Liam Stanton - 35%, 140 delegates Josh Cooke - 28%, 112 delegates\ The second debate is held. Before the debate, national polls were released with the following data: Sean Martin - 39% Josh Cooke - 30% Liam Stanton - 15% Undecided - 16% After the debate, instant polls showed the following: Sean Martin - 41% Josh Cooke - 37% Liam Stanton - 19% Undecided - 3% The candidates continue campaigning until the Adubura primary. The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Sean Martin - 43%, 129 delegates Liam Stanton - 40%, 120 delegates Josh Cooke - 17%, 51 delegates The candidates continue campaigning for the final primary of Talasor.

The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Sean Martin - 68%, 204 delegates Josh Cooke - 32%, 96 delegates The candidates continue campaigning until the Sammodra primary, this is a winner take all state. This was heavily contested, and Congressman Cooke edged out with only 1,000 more votes than his opponent after several recounts.The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Josh Cooke - 50%, 400 delegates Sean Martin - 50% Delegate count: Sean Martin - 365 delegates, only 475 delegates are needed Josh Cooke -710 Delegates, only 140 delegates are needed The second debate is held. Before the debate, national polls were released with the following data: Josh Cooke- 47% Sean Martin - 44% Undecided - 9% After the debate, instant polls showed the following: Sean Martin - 49% Josh Cooke - 47% Undecided - 4% The candidates continue campaigning until the Adubura primary. The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Sean Martin - 67%, 201 delegates Josh Cooke - 33%, 99 delegates The candidates continue campaigning for the final primary of Talasor. The vote percentages, and delegates, breakdown as follows: Sean Martin - 51%, 195 delegates Josh Cooke - 49%, 105 delegates The final delegate tally: Sean Martin - 761 delegates. Josh Cooke - 914 delegates It was expected that Josh Cooke be the official nominee for the Neoliberal Party, but the NPCE has announced that because of the close results in Sammodra, the results will be invalidated, and will instead be allocated proportionally. Such a decision of overruling the party constitution must come with a majority vote in the party leadership, led by Sean Martin. The leadership decision was unanimous, and due to the new results, Sean Martin’s delegate count will increase by 200 (961 delegates), and Josh Cooke’s delegate count will decrease by 200 (714 delegates). At the Neoliberal Party convention, Josh Cooke is invited to speak. “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Neoliberal Party, today is a sad day. What we witnessed was not democracy, but a rigging of a free and fair elections. The rules had been decided beforehand, and the party leadership, led by none other than Congressman Sean, decided against such rules which would have made me the nominee for the party. This is corruption of the highest level. In our party’s short life, we have seen a betrayal of our party values by aligning ourselves with the far-right parties, we have seen our party compromise on key issues for the sake of the right wing. It’s time that the party be steered towards the right course. I will be fighting against this corruption, and will be running for Leader of this great party as soon as the elections conclude. Thank you, and I urge the Neoliberal voters to make the right decision when it’s time to vote.” He is met by both cheers and boo’s from the disgruntled party members. He walks away from the convention and returns to the capital for his legislative duties. Sean Martin makes the final speech at the convention, but it pale’s in comparison to Cooke’s. |

Josh Cooke has won the nomination for Neoliberal Presidential nominee. |
