Former president Altansarnai launches "Straußist Front" party
November 18th, 5480
Former president and PAP leader Jargal Altansarnai has launched his own political party, the Straußist Front, subsequently announcing that the party will run in the upcoming provincial elections and in the next general election. The new party identifies itself as a "Liberal Conservative, Nationalist political movement" with Altansarnai as its first political leader. The former president, who ran as a independent presidential candidate last election, was long rumoured to be pressured into making his own party. Altansarnai is a openly Straußist politician, in favour of devolved governments, liberal conservatism and a pro-market economic policy. He was voted out as PAP leader in a tight leadership race against current president Sarnai, before announcing a independent run in order to maintain the presidency. Now, with the help of some notable former Straußists of the PAP, he has launched the new party which will compete in the upcoming provincial elections. Altansarnai noted that "this party allows those that feel a distance from the PAP following its transformation to find a new home. Straußism should never be a forgotten ideology and it is up to those that allign themselves to it to keep it alive."
Current polling suggests that the Straußist front could potentially do well in Sudland, while also performing well in the Capital District as well as some central provinces. In the capital district, the party polls second just behind the PAP, showing the potential of this newfound party. Some Straußists within the PAP have denounced the new party with MSC Khada Dokholkhu, parliamentary leader of a prominent Straußist faction in the party, stating that "Straußism is rooted in the PAP, this party serves as nothing more then yet another divider for the ideology and our chances at winning elections." Political commentators sight the presence of the more radical Straußists within the new party as a potential danger sign for the new party, with Altansarnai likely going to attempt to keep the party moderate to attract more voters.
