Though the Lotus Party gained 61 seats, they still fell short of forming a majority government
Kaizhou, Jiaozhi - 30 April 4282


Huang Zitao speaking to Convention following Leadership Review

25 May 2581, 9:34 am: Attorney General Xu Jindong of the Supreme Prosecution Service (under the Ministry of Justice), makes an announcement to the media:

Despite a defeat in the 4281 General Election, Lotus Party National Convention delegates voted overwhelmingly today to reject a leadership review and allow Huang Zitao to continue his leadership of the party. At every Lotus Party National Convention, the constitution of the Party declares that there must be a vote on the question "Should the party conduct an election to select a new Leader?" If the "yes" vote achieves more than 60% a leadership election is triggered. Today, delegates voted 92% no, indicating strong confidence in the Leadership of Huang Zitao by the party faithful. Speaking to the delegates following the vote, Huang said:

Thank you all for putting your faith in me to lead our movement...

...Together, we must continue to reject the sort of politics which allowed the Nationalist-Republican government to legalize child labour, privatize our healthcare system and abolish the corporate taxation regime. *booing* We must put forward our bold, progressive vision of an even greater Indrala; a place brimming with vigour and vibrancy; a place where young people are able to see a future for themselves; a place where they wish to raise a family and a place where their hard work would be duly rewarded...

...Friends, Election Day is just now just four years away, and we now have an opportunity to rebuild trust, to unify our nation and to rekindle hope, especially for our young people. But there is much hard work to do. Are you up for it? *cheering* Are you? *cheering* Then, let's roll up our sleeves, and let's not stop until the job is done! Thank you!
