-Conservative Times Editorial Published In the Democratic Republic of Aloria.
In a shock electoral victory, the incumbent President Washington was defeated by the Conservative party candidate Kevin Hill who received nearly 60% of the vote in the second round and pushing Mr. Washington into third place in the first round.
In other news, the Conservative party won 195 seats making them the largest party in parliament with a massive plurality of 102 which is over twice as many as the next largest party.
Speaking in a Conservative party rally after the results had been announced President Lee had this to say; “These results represent a turning point in Alorian politics. The silent majority of Alorian’s will no longer be silent; their voices will be heard in parliament and through me. We are extremely thankful to all those who put their trust in us and voted for change, and all our party workers and candidates.”
The Conservatives retained control of Ultran, Krentori and Kurmal significantly increasing their majorities in all three states.
The party will now draft a number of international treaties dealing mainly with economics, trade and industry.
In his closing remarks, Mr Lee said, "Aloria is the home of capitalism. Our victory today has shown that. The people of Aloria want fewer restrictions on global trade and they want Aloria to turn a new corner in world enterprise. We will be diligent in our efforts to secure that future."
Signed,
the Government of the Democratic Republic of Aloria
