Former Gurun youth wing leader forms his party months before election
14 December 5637



GEMUN: Xiang Logiya, who has previously served as the secretary-general of the Young Gurun (Wakaguru), following a chaotic split vote, which left Gurun without a youth wing amidst dying 18-29yo vote for the party, has announced yesterday that the majority of his team will form a new left-wing progressive force "as a counterweight to those in Gurun". Logiya's new party, New Dawn (新しい夜明け), symbolises a new movement of the working class youth and others, as the "Gurun's sun set down after years of negligence of their voters". Logiya says New Dawn is still open to work with Gurun on many issues, but added that he hopes that "political moves like these will make them [Gurun] think and change for the betterment of their own results, and hundreds of thousands of voters, who vote and trust them".

While many disillusioned voters have found any potential alternative to Gurun from or outside of former PPB members positive, a new express opinion poll commissioned exclusively on the request of the Daily Express for our readers, shows that the ND would capture 3% of the vote, had the election been held today, with Gurun vote collapsing even further, but going instead to the PCP and SPP, bringing their joint results to the edge of the majority government, with 113 seats together, just 2 seats short of the coalition majority.

Gurun leader, Babutai Dartao, who has been under a personal scrutiny within the party, as Gurun is rapidly declining, with a prospect of either not entering Yuan at all, or up to just 10 seats total, making it the worst result ever for a party, reacted to the formation of a new party shortly: "We are focused on defending our people, not playing some pity political games". Though he also, alike to Logiya, did not rule out cooperation with the new party, would that be required in the next Yuan. "My priority is the legislation that makes people's lives better, and I don't care who that will be that I have to work with, be it SPP or that new bunch if they will even enter", said Dartao.
