Opposition wins and denies the sixth term to the socialists, breaking the 25-year rule of the SPP
21 April 5643



Celebrations were heard across the Gunelian ward in Gemun, where the headquarters of the Bianjie Democratic Action and essentially the Democratic People's Coalition election alliance, as the opposition union has officially won the election according to the State Electoral Administration, securing a total of 107 seats. Obviously, not enough to solely form a government, but enough to say that SPP will not return to power for the sixth term. SPP has suffered a historic defeat.

DPC candidate for the premiership, and BDA president, Tabai Wenggot, spoke before the supporters and journalists on the Monday morning, talking about the "victory of the people", and the "political reset done democratically in the voting booths" on Sunday. Wenggot, answering the journalists' questions, has talked about political and electoral reforms the opposition coalition spoke during the campaign, and has reaffirmed that the next government will work towards their implementation alongside independent MPs and Gurun, with Wenggot also reaffirming that the DPC will continue the cooperation with the Gurun for "as long as both sides are able to agree on changes and policies".

On the pro-government side, total disappointment and sadness in the Socialist People's Party headquarters. For the first time in party's history, the purples have not gained a single seat and lost massively. Premier and SPP's leader, Sain Jalar have conceeded the election in the late night, talking about failures of the corruption within the government and party ranks, accepting the responsibility for this result, and resigning as SPP leader and premier effective on Monday. SPP will now have to elect the new leader, though Jalar will continue as premier until a new one has been sworn in by the Khan. Other pro-government parties have also suffered defeats, both PCP and New Dawn losing their MPs. Leaders of both parties have stepped down from their positions, with some within ND flanks talking about either dissolution or merge into either SPP or PCP, as the party is unable to capture high results, according to sources inside the party.

With DPC victory on Sunday, the 25-year-long rule of the Socialist People's Party comes to the end, and begins a new chapter both politically and historically. Whether DPC will exist or how the nation and our electoral and political system will look like by the next election remains the mystery, but as of now, the coalition is the strongest force in the nation, receiving a popular mandate to rule for the next 5 years.
