Record-breaking election results emerged last night, in which the Labour Party of Kalistan, Libertarian Democrats of Kalistan and Kalistan Unionist Party all received the most Assembly seats in their respective histories. Jim O'Connell was elected President of the Republic, with the backing of the KUP and SPoK on the second ballot and has indicated he will be looking to form a government swiftly. O'Connell and the wider party had been explicit on the campaign trail that they would look to push several key pieces of legislation through, particularly around worker and union rights and religious liberty. Speaking as the final results came in, O'Connell said;

Thank you, thank you! Thank you for your support, we've done it! Let's not get too complacent, though, this is just the beginning. Now, we must collaborate with our fellow moderates to push through the legislation which Kalistan's working class has been crying out for. With the end of the NNP, we have entered a new era of better politics in Kalistan but that will only last as long as we protect it.

Tonight, our party has broken new ground in achieving 147 seats and special congratulations for that has to go to Luca Curti, without him our party would never have been able to achieve this! I am humbled to be able to take over from such a fantastic man. Keep the red flag flying, my friends!
