Umberto Barrios (PSSG) elected Prime Minister: PNPG makes solid gains against PSSG.

Last months elections have resulted in, perhaps predictably, a PSSG victory. However, two events have made the election more notable. First, the National People's Party of Gaduridos has made solid gains within Congress, unifying the formal right and showing that Gaduri Conservativism can stand a chance against the PSSG. While the PSSG still retains a majority, it is ever so slimmer now and next election, they may genuinely lose it (barring a coalition). However, the real focus has been on the election of Umberto Barrios who won the Primary earlier this summer.

Barrios, despite being apart of the centrist PSSG, has endorsed select socialist policies, such as banking reform, housing reform (and expansion), and perhaps crucially, endorsed the End Poverty in Gaduridos Program, something the Garcian Socialists have pushed for immensely. Despite a strong effort by the Garcian Socialists, they ultimately lost the Primary but it seems they've gained concessions. 

Whatever the case, Barrios enters Los Altos with a resurrected Gaduri Right, socialist pressure, and a relatively growing economy. Whether his agenda will be able to be enacted, is an entirely different thing due to the machinations of Congress but with the majority retained for the PSSG, it's very much possible.
