PEARSON WINS PRESIDENCY ONCE AGAIN:
President Pearson is set to make his third term in office, as well as taking his third oath of office as the National People's Party lost only a small majority of seats in the election.
The communist based Federalist Labor Party gained a massive 132 seats while the Talmorian Democrats suffered what party President Christopher Simmons called a "crushing" loss as only 7,000,000 voted for the party in the election. The sphere of influence in the National Cabinet has decreased as their seats have decreased from 167 to 69.
Simmons says, "I've come to the conclusion that someone else needs to step up to the plate as party President. I am no longer able to do so. It's been a wonderful 14 years."
Signed,
the Government of the Republic of Talmoria
