Chen Tianwei leaving the Conference Center

Yesterday in Tian'an, the Civic Forum held its third Party Congress with record turnout as over ten thousand Forum members packed the Conference Centre full with a sea of orange. Alongside the leadership contest, a Party Constitution Re-write was proposed in the Conference which will lead the Civic Forum into a completely new route. Chen Tianwei, the challenger to Jiang, is of course in the centre of it all, calling for a 'Jienist Republican' route and the end of 'Clans, Caizu and the Corruption of Jienist Ideals'.

On the other hand, Jiang Zongren has remained relatively low profile in this campaign, and instead turned to a nationwide tour to visit local members of the Civic Forum, of whom he hoped are more moderate and loyal to Jiang's nine-year leadership over the Forum. When facing reporters, he stressed on his success in growing the Civic Forum into the second force for Republicanism that has equivalent influence over politics as their Communist counterparts.

Election Results

After the declaration of official results, Chen did not even spare time to stop for a speech, and instead moved to immediately vote on the amendment of the Party Constitution. The radical amendment proposed by the Youth Wing of the Forum would not only rename the party into the 'Republican League for an All-Indralan Revolution', and change the colours to the republican red and blue, but also create a highly centralised party central, with an all-powerful chairman.

Article 4
Party members must follow the instructions of the League ... in the study of Chen Tianwei thought ... and when necessary, the formation of an armed forces against anti-revolutionary oppressors.
Article 9
... Only the Chairman shall be able to call upon elections of leadership ...
Article 14
... The interpretation of this Constitution shall lie on the ... chairman presiding the Central Revolutionary Committee ...
- Amendments to the Party Constitution

New Logo of the Party

In under four hours, the entire party has shifted completely in line, with a new leader, new name and new logo. Following the completion of the Party Constitution Amendment, the leader Chen Tianwei went up the stage to address the rowdy crowds, promising a new leadership that would fully co-operate with the Communists in the Republican cause in a 'United Front'. It is also said that a new Manifesto replacing the 'Republican Manifesto' would be created to make way for Jienist and Authoritarian thought in the party.
