Rikspresident Manner Elected for a Third Term

20 August 5648 | Kivonia, Davostag (backdated)

 

The Davostag Senate convened the past weeks to elect the rikspresident of Davostag, and with a growing tension in the state institutions over internal criticism against rikspresident Manner some believed that the ruling NVU and the Riksdag, especially the more radical elements, would present an alternative candidate to either fully challenge Manner or to pressure him into taking more decisive and effective policy decisions. However, it would seem that this Senate election resulted in the usual reelection run, with simply a confirmation of the Senate's confidence in the rikspresident. Analysts who have observed and read various statements, sources and other materials to understand the situation better are confident that some sort of agreement has been made behind closed doors between the rikspresident's old guard faction and the younger progressive and more radical faction. What said agreement would entail is not yet understood, but that we would likely find out in the coming weeks, most likely with a reshuffling of the cabinet and new parliamentary committee appointments. One thing is agreed upon, that new radical elements within the state are gaining ground and influence, which will have a great effect on the future of Davostager politics.
