PSSG prevails in October Elections; Rene Pardo elected Prime Minister.

October 19th, 5726
---------------------
The 5726 October General Elections have concluded with, perhaps expectedly, another victory for the PSSG as the Gaduri Right remained too fractured for any candidate to unite the voterbase, as well as the PSSG Coalition holding firm. As such, besides losing a handful of seats, the PSSG has largely retained their majority and Rene Pardo, the nominee who won the Primary earlier this year has been elected as Prime Minister, and with the blessings of His Majesty, has formed a government.

Pardo, being relatively centrist and modest within the PSSG, but still acceptable to the Garcian Socialist wing of the PSSG has pledged to continue the PED, not rock the boat too much, and ensure good governance from the mainland to the islands. However, what won her the Primaries was her rather strong stance on pacifism, and she's pledged to conduct a review of the National Service Program, as Gaduridos no longer has imperial obligations from the Anantonese Empire, and still has its neutrality backing it, and if possible, move towards abolishing military service. If not, then most certainly reform the system. Whatever the case, her election largely means a continuation of the status quo as Gaduri voters are trusting the PSSG to deliver results once again in four years, most especially economically.

For the right however, the plethora of parties there have split the vote decisively, as whether you're voting for the HDP, RPG, ULD, PEdG, or even the far right PSL, they're all still divided. While all parties didn't suffer heavily, they're all still far from forming a coalition government. For the far left, the communists, as expected, have not participated in the elections, and the Left Republicans found little appeal this season due to the popularity of His Majesty, Víctor de Valcorico. The Green Action Power equally struggled, as they've largely offered to shut down the oil industry with no alternative, something that has understandably, repulsed working class voters and even middle class voters.

Whatever the case, the PSSG has another four years in Los Altos and expectations are looking at the economy and the PED.
