Youth Gurun announces the internal vote to split from the mother party
28 September 5636



GEMUN: Secretary-General of the Young Gurun (Wakaguru), Xiang Logiya, in a suprising press conference yesterday morning has announced that the youth wing he leads, will have a membership-only vote within the organisation to decide on whether the Wakaguru should leave the mother party, Gurun. The initiation of the ballot comes after months of internal struggle of the party, following steady decline of the formerly powerful party, and inability to attract new voters. Logiya has been a long critic of the current Dartao leadership of Gurun, with the criticism spiking up following the PPB decision to leave SPP-led government. Wakagurun secretary-general accused Gurun leadership of "cozying up to the elitist forces, like Demaction", and "betraying the real cause", like left-wing economic ideas and proposals that SPP cabinet been rallying around recently.

The vote caught Dartao and his team in a surprise, with Gurun president saying he's "disappointed but not surprised". "It is not like we didn't expect it, because I saw with my own eyes for months now, that they don't want to actually fight for the people, they just need power, that's it". PPB secretary-general Hojo Ciyat told that the national leadership will be following closely, though she hinted that there could be an appeal to courts on the legality of such actions. "I mean, they are free to do it, but at the same time, this raises many questions about the reasoning and what mechanism they will use".

Some officials within Gurun have attacked SPP, accusing them of intervening and pushing Logiya and others to move towards the split. SPP denied that, as the party spokeswoman, Makata Feimo, told Radio Namušun: "What happens in other parties is none of our concerns, as long as it doesn't affect or mentions us. If Gurun is unable to keep their own party together, it is not an issue of SPP, or even BDA, or any other party".

When Logiya was asked what would happen to the Wakaguru in the result of this vote, he answered: "If the vote succeeds, we split, and each individual member is free to do whatever they wish. If the vote fails, I will personally step down as the secretary-general, and leave both the wing and the party. I had thought it through many times, but I do not intend to disclose further what awaits for me and my team in either case".
