Narelle Ewart Wins Presidential Election
A Great Victory, but at What Cost?

President Narelle Ewart Gives Victory Speech in the National Assembly 13/10/4518

Narelle Ewart of the National Conservative Party, with the endorsements of the Socialist party of Kalistan and the United Kalistani Worker's Front, winning the Presidency for the NCP for the first time in fifty-nine years. But the news isn't entirely bright for Kalistani Conservatives. Although the NCP has won the Presidency, the party has lost ten seats in the legislature and, if that wasn't enough, the Patriotic League somehow managed to obtain an astonishing FIFTY extra seats, giving the anti-Kalistan party forty percent of the seats in the National Assembly.

Although it seems to have backfired horribly, the National Conservative Party claims that it will still continue its Conservative Blitz in the hopes of stripping power from the, to quote NCP Director Patrick Kearney, "Authoritarian/Liberal Axis of Evil" and to restore power and order to Kalistan's economy. President Ewart has also announced her vow to assist the Ministry of Defense in any way possible to modernize the weakened and outdated Kalistani Regular Forces.

When asked by Right View reporters what her plans were for her Presidency, Narelle Ewart gave the following statement:

Obviously, I've already stated that one of my top priorities was to help modernize the army, but my other plans were to reopen some of the closed national industries which provided our nation with the lifeblood of our economic and military power. Unfortunately, with the unexpected gains of the Patriotic League in the election, I don't believe we'll be able to do that. They usually vote against Kalistan's interests. We'll try nonetheless. Hopefully they'll have a stroke of genius and at least allow us to reopen KalMilInCo and possibly even KalNaPeCo and KalNaFerCo. Hopefully.

After attempting to include the Patriotic League in the cabinet, negotiations for the formation of the government have been postponed until the beginning of next year due the PL accepting no positions less than Premier of the Republic, which President Ewart has promised to give to the SPoK for their continued endorsement of her for the Presidency.
