Socialist government re-elected with a bigger margin, preliminary results show
23 April 5653



Three months of campaigning ended up in a result that surprised almost no one: the re-election of the socialist-led government. However, there was a surprising outcome to many. It is the way SPP was re-elected, and that is with a bigger majority than in 5648. A highly approved government with a crumbling opposition and a growing third way party resulted in a stronger and bigger majority for the SPP and its coalition.

Recent polls showed the problem the opposition was, leading up to this result: voters are unaware of the program or policies DPC and NCU are running on, with 31% of DPC voters in 5648 saying they wouldn't vote because DPC "talks about SPP too much". Arrest of the former leader of the opposition Batu Aora on the charges of corruption certainly didn't help the opposition either, considering fighting corruption was DPC's main campaign slogan five years ago.

With 130 out 229 seats controlled by the left-wing coalition, Premier Soca secures himself five more years to run the country, and continue to implement reforms and megaprojects, as 78% of Bianjie citizens say the country is moving in the right direction, according to the same poll, mentioned above. Soca thanked all the voters, saying that "the work continues", and that he will work as Premier "for as long as the people require". When asked about the government, Soca replied that there could be "minor realignments", but added that "most hardworking ministers will remain in place, continuing to work for Bianjie".
