The Official Portrait of Federal Chancellor Matthias Werner.

Dunburg - Matthias Werner was officially sworn in as our nation's new Federal Chancellor at Karlottenberg Schloss, with a ceremony featuring his cabinet appointees and Federal President Lorena Oberlitz. Yesterday, Mr. Werner won a investiture vote in the Bundestag, getting 324 votes in favor and 306 against, which elected him as Head of Government. Today, with the swearing-in, he can constitutionally exercise his powers as Federal Chancellor of Dundorf.

Werner's governing coalition features DSDP, the party he leads, the Green party, which will get the role of the Deputy Chancellor, and the Dundorfian Red Front. These three parties constitute, as of today, the so-called center-left coalition, which just last month won the federal election and ended the eight-year-long rule of Chancellor Freda Gimbel (NDZP). The coalition agreement contains a childcare and child benefit reform, environmental protections and the passage of a so-called "Equality Amendment", which would enshrine the right to abortion and equal marriage into the Constitution.

As of today, Matthias Werner becomes Dundorf's first ever gay Chancellor since the Restoration (5218), and becomes one of the youngest Chancellor ever elected, at age 35. He will be joined at the Chancellery by his long-time boyfriend, Lukas, and the cat they own. Mr. Werner will meet, later today, Chancellor Freda Gimbel and her family to complete the transition. The Werners and the Gimbels will then enjoy a dinner, before Mrs. Gimbel departs the Chancellery.
