Rahjavi Speaks from Socialist Party HQ, in Downtown Kaliburg
The Prime Minister of Kalistan made a brief statement concerning the upcoming Primaries to be held across the Republic. Her remarks are transcribed below, and were aired over KNRTVN.
Quote:"I will not endorse a candidate for Office. I would normally be partial toward members of my government, whom I have long served with and deeply respect, but their choice of faction leaves me divided. That said, it is my hope that the contest is resolved amiably and in the interest and for the good of the Republic. In all things I will follow my conscience, and will be happy to support whoever the Socialists of Kalistan advise the Party to nominate, and if it be the will of the next President I will happily continue to serve the Republic in any capacity the President of the Republic appoints me to.
"That said, this is an historic opportunity for the people of Kalistan. While the Socialist Party has dominated Kalistani Politics for more than a century now, and we have made great strides toward expanding socialization of nearly all public goods to free people from want, the selection of the President of the Republic has long been an almost exclusively internal process, controlled by Party elites. This primary contest theoretically advances the decision making process to the Republic as a whole. All Socialists will be welcomed to participate in the contest, and the Party has agreed to abide by the popular will. We will still have normal elections in January then, and the decision of ratification will be opened to the entire population of the country.
"There may be hiccups with this process: We have never done it before. But we will persevere, and we will get it right, and if this process seems to work for the purposes the Party seeks, it may become a regular feature of Kalistani Politics. We look forward to it."
The Prime Minister added that polling places will be developed and poll watchers will be trained to ensure that the Primary goes smoothly.
