In polarized election, GNP and Communists compete in every region
"Metzism will not be tolerated" says presumptive Chief Counselor Mo Ah

The GNP and CP combined for more than half of votes cast in every region.

KAIZHOU, Jiaozhi: The Grand National Party headquarters for the Jiaozhi region was the center of jubilation that spilled into the streets of Kaizhou after electoral returns showed that the GNP had won over 1/3 of votes nationally in yesterday's election. Few in the building had expected the GNP to perform so well in its debut election, despite polling in the run up to election night that indicated something big was afoot in Indrala's northern provinces.

Indrala's northernmost regions all swung for the GNP, with Jiaozhi, Anle, and Shu accounting for 164 of the Grand Nationals' 225 seats in the Grand Assembly. Political commentators from several of Indrala's most reputed think tanks highlighted that this election ended up being a blow-for-blow contest between the right-leaning and pro-monarchy GNP and the radical Metzist Communist Party, which was second in each of the northern regions and won Han in its own right.

MO Ah, leader of the Grand National Party and presumptive Chief Counselor of Indrala stated that the success of the Metzists was "worrying."

"The Metzists have undertaken a dramatic propaganda campaign," Mr. Mo said in a statement. "And the people of Indrala have been far to trusting of an ideology which declares the very foundation of the Indralan state 'poison'. Metzism cannot and will not be tolerated in Indrala. The Son of Heaven must be defended from his wayward subjects."
