Sundada Machiko gives a victory speech to the Party Conference.

KAIZHOU, Jiaozhi: Social Democratic Party members gathered at the Cheng Xiuying Center just outside of Kaizhou for their Party Conference over the past weekend. After a multitude of speeches from party members, as well as a few performances from celebrities, the primary election results were announced.

The primary season had been quite energetic, specifically picking up after incumbent, and Party Founder, Fa Rong announced her retirement. About a dozen candidates from across Indrala were in the running, but by the even of the primary election only three stood out: Sunada Machiko, Xue Yi, and Cheng Ah.

Despite her youth, and recent introduction into national politics, Sunada Machiko was able to push ahead of the others, and rise as the Party Leader of the Social Democrats. Results showed a 57.4% majority voting for Ms. Sunada, 30.8% for Dr. Cheng, and 11.8% choosing Ms. Xue.

Sunada Machiko arrived in Indrala as a refugee from Dovani when she was just 7 years of age. Attending Kaizhou National University, she quickly became the top of her class, exceling in both political science and law. Ms. Sunada's stances made her popular among many young, especially urban dwelling, Indralans, along with gaining the support of many Social Democratic immigrants.

Ms. Sunada gave a rousing victory speech as she accepted her role. The entire conference burst into applause at its completion.

"It is really a great honour for me to be chosen as the leader of our party, and I thank each and everyone of you for bestowing this title upon me. With hard work and unity we can truly bring progress to all of Indrala. We must work together with out Lotus Party and New Dawn partners against the growing threat of extremism, on both sides of the spectrum, in Indrala. To the Communist Party, I must say that it is you who have actually betrayed the people of Indrala! You seek to bring devastation and conflict to all of our country, must I remind everyone of our own history, of the terror that the Zensho Socialist period brought? Or that the type of Metzism supported by this party calls for unbridled proletarian revolution? How would such destruction bring prosperity to our people? If we look on the right-side of the things, the Freedom and Grand National Parties threaten to undo the fabric of our social support systems, of our government in entirety! We must be careful going into this uncertain future, but I know that the energy and commitment of our party will pull us through in the end! Thank you all!"

Besides the election of Party Leader, the Social Democrats' new chancellor was also voted in. Yuan Kun won with 63.1% of the vote.
