Jillian Martin-Carrangus named new SP Leader
Brethrenist from Vrassa vows to "rebuild Party"
Python, Vrassa District
July 15, 4017

The turbulence which beset the first half of the year has, in large measure calmed, as the Socialist Party named Vrassan News Anchor and social justice activist Jillian Martin-Carrangus as the new head of the Party.  Martin holds a Masters degree in mass communication, and a Bachelors' Degree in Psychology both from The University of Ananto at Kaliburg.  Martin held public positions at ODEN and in the officer of the Socialist Governor of Vrassa before taking a job at KNRTVN-2, in Vrassa City, where she anchored the nightly news report for two years. 

Martin is 27 years old, and as such is one of the younger Party Leaders to be named.  Martin was recently elected as a freshman Member of the Assembly in the 4017 elections representing Python, in the Country of Monty, Vrassa District.

Said Party General Secretary Frank Welch:

"I think the Party wanted to go with a young Comrade because we wanted someone who will be a long term leader.  We seem to do best when we have a consistent set of policies over a long period of time.  Comrade Martin's Brethrenist positions, her clear preference for moderation of some of the more hardcore elements of the Socialist economic program, and her name recognition made her the preferred candidate for the job.  She won an outright majority over three other candidates on the first round of the mail in ballots following Comrade Rahjavi's departure from office, and so Comrade Martin will be our Party's shadow Premier going forward.  We hope for the Best for Comrade Martin, and look to follow her legislative direction."

Comrade Martin is likely to become the next Premier under the Principle of Separation of Powers, if the CCC and President Boragard acknowledges the principle.
