Evelyn Markham dumped by National Labour after falling to Fourth
National Labour Leader Evelyn Markham has been dumped by the Party following the collapse of the party in Parliament following last years election. Going into the election, National Labour was the Official Opposition, and fell below both the surging Greens and and resurgent Liberals. National Labour's apparent strategy during the election was relying on organized labour to deliver their members. Despite efforts by union leadership, the membership was seemingly unswayed and went Green en masse, with the moderate National Labour voters going to the Liberals for the most part.
Markham alledgedly refused to believe the polls even during the leadup and on election day, with her focusing on communicating with the Unions directly, rather then with voters.
National Labour has elected Deputy Leader Liam Eddington as the new National Labour Leader. Eddington served as Markham's Deputy Leader and as interim Leader of the Official Opposition when Markham was not in Parliament. Eddington made a vow to get working class voters back to National Labour and prove they were the only real alternatives to the governing Conservatives.
Jack Delamont Replaced former by Kenai Premier Katelyn Ashcroft.
Despite improving the Liberals seats count in both the House and Senate, long time Liberal Leader Jack Delamont has resigned as Leader of the Liberals "in an effort to bring new blood into the party" according to a statement. The Liberal campaign had been plagued by alledged constant infighting between Delamont and former Liberal Leader, Prime Minister and current Senator Michael Kensington on strategy, with Kensington advocating for a broader approach in provinces to increase voter share rather then individual ridings, something analysts have cynically pointed out, would help elect more Liberal Senators rather then MPs. The infighting in the Liberal camp seeming benefitted the Greens more then anyone else.
The Liberals have elected Kenai Premier Katelyn Ashcroft as the new Liberal Leader. Premier Ashcroft stated she would remain as Premier of Kenai until the next election, but would step down prior to any election. Senator Michael Kensington attempted to run for Leader of the Party, but was beaten on the second ballot by Premier Ashcroft and former Mashacara Chief Eric Rivers, whom Ashcroft defeated on the final ballot.
