As a Beloved Leader Passes Away, a Power Vacuum is left in the NCP

Williamson's Great Granddaughter Mourns at Williamson's Casket During His Funeral in Kaliburg, 6/3/4503

Luis Williamson, Director and co-founder of the Second National Conservative Party of Kalistan, has passed away on February 20th at the age of 84, following spending a little over a week in a hospital in Kaliburg after suffering a severe heart attack during a meeting at the National Conservative Party's headquarters near the Capital Building. Williamson had been suffering from heart issues for the past few years now, stress is thought to have been the main cause.

In March of 4448, Luis Williamson co-founded the Second National Conservative Party of Kalistan along with weapons manufacturer James Colbert and political commentator Derek Renov after almost fifty years since the dissolution of the First National Conservative Party in September of 4392. Before 4448, Williamson had become famous among right wingers for his anti-socialist and anti-abortion activism and had been the preeminent voice of the conservative community. Williamson would then serve as the Director of the NCP for fifty-five years, for its entirety he had worked with the left, a decision which has won him both much support and much criticism, and, unfortunately, hadn't lived to see his dream of a freer Kalistani market. After years of dedication to his party and fellow Kalistanis, right up until the end, he will surely be missed.

The NCP is yet to elect a replacement for Williamson, so Chairman Jakab Wyman will assume the responsibilities of the Director until a new one can be chosen. Currently there are four major contenders for the position:
Jakab Wyman - Current party chairman and moderate conservative.
Bryce Keen - NCP presidential candidate and moderate conservative. He is projected to win the election.
Marci Agua - Longtime party member and centrist.
Odin Franklyn - New but influential member of the party. He is a far-right radical who leads a small faction within the NCP.

The elections are currently scheduled for the sixteenth of August.
