Dundorf - The successor of President Wolfgang Prawius has been elected, this time by the people, and her name is Lorena Oberlitz. Mrs. Oberlitz, who launched a campaign for President last May, has served as the Leader of the DSDP (Social Democratic Party) since 5674, is a member of the Bundestag since 5666, has served as Chancellor from 5674 to 5682, Deputy Chancellor from 5682 to 5686 and is the Leader of the Opposition since 5686. Upon her installation in Karlottenberg Schloss, she will have to relinquish her seat in the Bundestag and will step down as Secretary of the DSDP, opening up a succession battle for the new Social-Democratic leader who will have to lead the party into the November Federal election. 

Oberlitz is the first President elected directly from the people after 66 years, when in that period Presidents were elected indirectly by members of the Bundestag. According to the near-completed counting of the votes, the Social-Democrat won with seven point of advantage over his opponent, Dr. Herman Felder of the NDZP, translating into an advantage of roughly six million of votes over him. According to our sources, Dr. Felder called Mrs. Oberlitz to congratulate her early in the night, when the counting of the votes in the conservative stronghold of Oderveld showed a weak performance for the Hosian-Democratic candidate, and it became very apparent that Lorena was headed for a clear victory.

As is customary, President outgoing Prawius will invite the President-elect to Karlottenberg Schloss to discuss their transition over lunch and to give her a tour of the entire estate, in which she should move in after the swearing-in before the Bundestag, on March 30. She has already stated that her entire family (including several cats) will move into the Presidential residence.
