General Election 5666: Justice and Peace emerges as largest party
JP-AA-GP coalition begins finalising government
The final seats have been filled out in after the counting of votes was completed in the North Semailles district earlier today. Justice and Peace has gained a plurality in the election with their campaign partners Agrarian Alliance and the Green Party following closely behind. JP got 32 seats, while AA and GP got 30 and 27 respectively. The partnership has gained a slim majority, and is expect to sort out the final details on their coalition later this week. What can be expected is that Justice and Peace's Ismaël Mercier will be appointed Prime Minister, and that the coalition's agenda of welfare, infrastructure development and social reform will start shortly after.
Other parties also made gains, with United Nationalists and the Aldurian Social Party growing to 15 and 14 seats respectively, while the Hosian Democrats and Liberty and Democracy, fell to 26 and 11 respectively. Minor parties and independents made gains this election, with a total of 20 seats.
Key issues this elections were the rural-urban divide, the crumbling infrastructure and the lack of political reforms. The uninnovative rhetoric used by Hosian Democrats failed in gaining support from new voters, while the coalition's broad appeal and near-dominance on the digital front allowed them to overtake. By focusing broadly and promoting schemes that would support both rural and urban populations, the coalition beat the HD's urbanite focuesed campaign. The HD still holds the presidency, and despite its mostly ceremonial role, it can be used to bother to coalition's plans.
Despite the monumental nature of this election, the low turnout rate of 63.7 percent leaves much to be desired, as it is the lowest the nation has seen in many years. The low rate was most prevalent in poorer urban areas, and remote rural districts, and some early speculations believe this to be a result of previous governments' neglect off these groups. Mild storm warnings in the south of the country may have also played an effect.
