Kommenda scrambles for political capital: Calls for early elections

Kommenda announcing the dissolution of parliament and early elections

1. April of 5562, After what some provocatively call a party political "shitshow" incumbent President Robert Kommenda is scrambling for political capital. According to VVP insiders the leader of the Dual Republic is under intense pressure from all sides, including his own party, some think that the VVP needs to cut its losses and accept the defeat at the current terms. "Riding this out" doesnt not seem like an option for the disgruntled party elite. These are probably the reasons for his latest risky move, he is dissolving the parliament a few months early in an attempt to generate some momentum for the VVP election campaign. He is facing the heavy-hitting zum Clenonberg who is set to race in a head-to-head against Kommenda in the presidential bid. What baffled even more was the sudden nature of the decision, the government set the date for the new elections to the 6th of May, democracy institutes criticize this as threatening to the procedure of the election day.
