Neveras Holds First Primaries in Kalistani History
With 100 Percent of the Precincts reporting, Win scored for Brethrenist Candidates
Vilbin, Neveras District
March 1, 4016

Neveras recently completed the first primary election in Republican History, and it appears that Brethrenist Candidates scored big.  Brethrenists took the top three spots in the election.  While the turnout was somewhat disappointing, and only 36 percent of the eligible electorate showed up, they still delivered an impressive victory to the current Minister of Trade and Industry, and Director of KALNAPECO, Eva Hayak.


Industrial Minister Hayek campaigns in Neveras two days before Primary elections

In the election, Hayek touted her strong government credentials, overseeing the rebuilding of KALNAPECO, especially in the face of privatization threats nearly a decade ago, as well as her administration of KALNAFERCO, and general promotion of Kalistani economic stability throughout the period.  Hayek, also a member of the Brethrenist Faction of the Socialist Party, defeated other, more well-known candidates to claim the victory in the Primary election.  She is now widely seen as an early frontrunner going into April's Suldanor Primary, where she should theoretically also do well, given her connections to the oil industry in Sulari.

Hayek gave a short speech declaring her victory.  She spoke of her Brethrenist values, and noted that if elected President, promotion of the Kalistani sect would become a significant priority of her Administration.  She also touted her economic expertise, and expressed interest in expanding Kalistani ODEN, as well as re-opening talks with Lodamun about joining the Northern Selayan Railroad.
