Dunburg - Following last month's Federal Election, which produced a victory of the NDZP and a unique case of hung parliament, Freda Gimbel has officially became the new Federal Chancellor of Dundorf. She was voted in by 337 members of the Bundestag, and she is supported by a Grand Coalition composed by NDZP, her party, and the DSDP. Former Chancellor Lorena Oberlitz, who is the leader of the Social-Democrats, has agreed to this "GroKo" after the NDZP agreed to give Ms. Oberlitz the position of Vice Federal Chancellor and Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs.

There was little surprise for the decision of NDZP and DSDP to proceed with a GroKo: after the election, no bloc obtained a majority of the seats in Bundestag, set at 316, and therefore no political coalition could be formed, moreover, the Greens stated that they wouldn't have joined any cabinet after the terrible results at the polls, making it harder to imagine any other coalition other than the good, old NDZP-DSDP Grand Coalition. The KBP, a party that in the past argued against NDZP's cooperation with the Social-Democrats, this time isn't protesting, we interviewed party leader Leonie Hagsburg: "Well, the Dundorfian people gave us an unprecedented hung parliament, so there was little choice here. We advised the NDZP, our ally, to enter this Grand Coalition but to champion rural and agricultural affairs and to put farmers first. We are glad, as a first step, to see that the NDZP will be getting the Agricolture ministry, instead of the Socialists."
