DUNBURG - Dundorf has re-elected Friedrich von Schirach, a seasoned Liberal-Democrat politician, as the top tenant of Karlottenberg Schloss, the Federal President's official residence. This victory comes just one year after the 5734 Federal Election, which confirmed the popularity of the governing blue bloc led by NDZP. The government, united, supported the candidacy of Von Schirach as a signal of unity and also to test the overall popularity of the three parties combined. Opposed to Von Schirach there was only one candidate, owing to the absence of independents and the perennial crisis of the Pirates. The opponent was another veteran of Dundorf's politics: Kaspar Brozovìc, who recently contested the leadership of his party (DSDP), and held several key positions in the past years. Like Von Schirach's, Mr. Brozovìc's candidacy was supported by an united front of left-of-centre parties: DSDP, GPP and DRF.

Mr. Brozovic, who would have made history as Dundorf's first Delic Head of State after several centuries, won in three federal states out of five, but still lost the national popular vote due to strong performances by the President in Oderveld (55,7%) and Julstoch (69,2%). In the end, Friedrich von Schirach heads back to Karlottenberg Schloss after months of campaigning with 51,3% of the voters behind him. His opponent, Mr. Brozovìc, called him shortly after the news outlets called the outcome of the Presidential election, congratulating Von Schirach 'on a lifetime of service and on winning an impressive second term', according to sources close to him.

"Exit polls suggests that only a minority of the voters went to the polls in order to express their approval or disapproval towards the current government", explains our elections expert Dr. Wahl, "the President was able to win based on his persona, perceived as competent, and because of his popularity among DSDP and GPP voters, who allowed him expaning the base of the parties supporting him".
