October 9th, 5718

The Seleyan Social Democratic Party of Gaduridos has emerged as the sole victor of the 5718 elections, securing a firm majority in Congress as voters across the country chose to give de la Cruz a chance at fixing things, rejecting the perceived chaos of the Gaos Campaign, and with the rest of the Gaduri Right (and the Workers Party splitting the Republican vote) splitting the right wing vote, the PSSG is in a position of not requiring a coalition, instead relying on its own deputies within Congress. As centre left voters celebrate the victory, and de la Cruz prepares to head to Los Altos in Ciudad de Gadur, de la Cruz made it clear that he's entering Los Altos with a to-do list and has promised forty years of progress in four.

My fellow citizens, my brothers and sisters. Today, was not just an election. It was a decision made by the country. A decision of whether we continue the malaise and look to radical solutions, or a decision of whether we stick together as a country and work towards ending the malaise. A decision where we dare to believe in the future again. A decision where every Gaduri is given a chance. Our country certainly has had a history of facing insurmountable cliffs, and each and every single time, we climb that cliff. This malaise will be no different. I promise, we will fix our broken constitution! We will restore the economy to it's heights and more! We will fix our weakened, eroding services! We will see forty years of progress in four!

While the opposition has given concessions, it's clear that the political right (and far left) are upset over having lost a vital election, especially with the PSSG majority in Congress, meaning any chances to impede their agenda is slim to non-existent. Whatever the case, the de la Cruz administration most certainly has a lot of work to do, from the Constitution to the currency, to renewing social programs, Los Altos will most certainly be busy.
