Stefanisti - With nearly 78% of the vote, Aleksandra Kuzmanović of the KDU has been elected Governor of Gradnica in a emergency election triggered by the assasination of previous governor Nikša Pajić. Kuzmanović, a former ally of Pajić, ran on a platform of "unrelenting ressistance" against the Gradnican Defense terrorist group, repeating thrghout the campaign that under her the province would not bow to the terror of the group. It seems that the oppossite of what Gradnican Defense wanted has now been achieved, as Kuzmanović has so far pledged to go even further then her predecessor in improving living conditions for Jelbic refugees and working with Tsargrad in negotiating humane "return" deals with Jelbe authorities.
Economically Kuzmanović ran on a nearly identical campaign as Pajić, promising a mixed approach of provincial investments and less regulations for companies in the province. She also promised to grow the Gradnican Provincial Police Force (GPPF) from the current 20.000 officers to nearly 45.000, also increasing the budget for the purchase of additional equipment, improved and extended training and subsidies for local municipalities in order to strengthen their local police forces. In her acceptance speech, Kuzmanović further emphasized that her provincial government declares "total war" against Gradnican Defense.
Since the Stefanisti attack, the State Security Service has extended its security umbrella to the Governor's office, also monitoring the security situation for other provincial leaders nearly 24/7. Additionally, the GPPF has taken additional security measures to protect high ranking Gradnicans, which includes the governor and her cabinet.

Quote:Gradnica is not the hostage of a terrorist group. It is a young but proud part of this federation, a province on the front line of many issues within the Empire. But instead of hate and division, we stand for humanity and compassion. My government declares total war against the terror of Gradnican Defense. We declare war against fear, against hate. Together, Gradnicans will propell this province forward and work with Tsargrad in keeping each other safe.
