Tian'an: Xuan Shuren hosted a casual gathering in the capital on Monday for his swearing-in ceremony. His family and close friends, members of the public, as well as representatives from every major industry and government agency attended to witness history. After years of anticipation, the Republicans have finally formed government and elected a chancellor. Xuan Shuren is the first Republican to ever become chancellor of Indrala, even though his predecessor Song Yi was seen as the chancellor in waiting before her untimely death. Cheers erupted at Republican Party headquarters in Hazhou as Xuan Shuren was elected chancellor and the Republicans managed to capture 249 seats – two more than the opposition Lotus Party. The Nationalist Party has become the third party in the National Conference, however Xuan Shuren will be proposing a cabinet that includes several NP positions. This election was seen as some of the Republicans’ last chance to run for ministerial positions, as most of the candidates have been around ever since Song Yi founded the Republicans almost ten years ago.

The Republicans have a broad range of proposals to put forward. Most notably the minister of Foreign Affairs – Mao Zhihao has revealed the government’s intention to ratify several international treaties, as well as host numerous international conferences. This will be the first time the people of Indrala get to see what a Republican government looks like, and the anticipation is strong.

More to come…
