DUNBURG - Chancellor Egon Moltenhauer has lost a vote of confidence in the Bundestag, which he himself requested after the DRF dissoluted and a breakaway faction of it created the KPD, Communist Party of Dundorf. The government, composed by DSDP, GPP and DRF, enjoyed a majority of 328 members in the Bundestag, 94 of which were belonging to the DRF. After the dissolution, 37 members decided to join the KPD, meaning that technically the Government had lost the majority, prompting the Chancellor to request a vote of confidence in his government, saying:

We will either continue to govern with a majority in this Bundestag, or face the Dundorfian voters once again in a early election, if necessary.

As it turns out, a early election is now necessary. Moltenhauer formally submitted his resignation to newly-elected Federal President Fabricius, with whom he agreed that the best date to hold a new election is in October, allowing for a two-months-long campaign. Until a new Bundestag is elected and a new government is formed, Mr. Moltenhauer will remain in charge as the outgoing Chancellor, alongside his cabinet.
