Reformist Arslonov elected president of Utaristan
19. 5. 5632 | Cise, Utaristan
In upheaval to the balance of power within the Utaristani government, Yunis Arslonov has been elected to the post of President of the Republic of Utaristan. The former president, Nur Sayrami, has resigned, citing health issues, despite seeming in firm health for a time prior.
Our sources within the government report that Sayrami and his conservative faction have apparently lost an internal power struggle within the Party for National Revolution. Arslonov and his reformists have already begun to tighten their grip on power. In a broadcast speech to the National Assembly, Yunis Arslonov has proclaimed the beginning of the so-called "war on corruption" and accused several ministers of Ipe's administration, using corruption charges as a weapon to weaken the conservative faction.
With this surprising victory for the reformists, Utaristan now stands at a crossroad. There are hopes that the reformist will end various oppressive measures of the previous years, such as violations of freedom of speech, press, and the freedom to gather. However, more realistically, the administration will pass only token reforms, if any at all. In his second speech, this time to the nation, Arslonov has announced that his administration has begun "researching opportunities to reform regulation of media and speech in Utaristan". This might signal the start of liberalising reforms, however, we should keep our expectations low.
