TIRALLE - Come January 5631, the National Assembly is expected to elect as Rildanor's President of the Government Dr. Henri Des Ambrois, one of the founding members of the Liberal-Socialist Party, and a former Professor of International Relations at the State University of Tiralle.  Des Ambrois will lead a cabinet coalition composed by his party, the majority partner, and the Progressive Nationalist Party, a center-left party which will serve as junior partner.

Under their agreement, the PLS will obtain key ministerial posts, one of which, Finance, will be occupied by Prof. Olivier Brassard, the other member of PLS's founding triumverate. The new government's main task is to facilitate the passage of the new Constitution, and lead a orderly transition from a political regime to another. On policy, the cabinet is expected to push legislation to expand civil liberties and promote the foundation of a welfare state, while on issues such as foreign policy, where their views diverge, the parties did not made any joint commitment.

The Liberal-Socialists and the Progressives will act as a coalition also in regards of the upcoming second round of the Presidential election, where PSL's Sylvie Aimard-Bélanger is facing a center-right challenge from the People's Party leader Nicholas Souchon, after a very exciting and very close first round.
