3 January 48534853 Primary Election NightThe National Liberty Party holds its first convention in all five provinces of Yingdala for every race including the Grand Assembly and that of the Imperator.TNN Anchor: "Good evening and welcome to the 4853 NLP Primary Election live coverage. I'm your host Jin Hui Xiang. Tonight I have with me the Deputy Chairman of the National Liberty Party, Lin Yin Wei, and former NLP Leader in the Grand Assembly, Qing Kun Ah. Good evening gentlemen! I'll first go to you Leader Qing. You resigned from office last spring due to health issues. I hope you're doing better. I want to hear your thoughts on tonight's election and who you think will come out on top in the race for Imperator.
Leader Qing: Thank you for having me Anchor Jin! Its good to be back in politics even if I'm not an elected official. As you stated, I did resign from office due to health concerns, however, my health has turned to the best and we can expect a full recovery in the next year or so if I follow doctors orders. You see here, we have over 1,500 candidates for the Grand Assembly, 10 for Governor, and now 2 candidates for Imperator. Just seeing those numbers keeps me optimistic that the National Liberty Party is gaining support from all areas of the country, increasing participation in our party and so on. While I won't make an educated guess about the winner of the Imperator nomination, I will say that both candidates put up a fight to not only draw support for themselves, but also, to draw support from The Middle Path and swing voters to our party. I'm enjoying this and I look forward to the results tomorrow night at the convention.
TNN Anchor: Glad to see you doing well. I also heard you are joining the campaign field after the convention to help the Imperator nominee and other NLP candidates across the entire country.
Leader Qing: Yes I will be campaigning for every candidate in the race, especially for the Imperator. This was planned back in 4850 when I met with Chairman Chen and Deputy Chairman Lin and our political savvy employees where we drafted a plan to actively and aggressively campaign in every city in every province. Look Jin, we have built the world's largest and most energized campaign in the history of Terra. As I keep saying, I am very optimistic about this election and I can't wait to see the NLP lead this nation into a prosperous future.
TNN Anchor: Thank you Leader Qing. Deputy Chairman Lin, you've said before that this is a new process for the NLP. What's new about the process?
Deputy Chairman Lin: Well thank you Jin for having me on your show. I'm glad to be here in the studio with my friend, Leader Qing. We have known each other for over 30 years and even graduated from the same university at the same time. I'm glad he's doing well. You know he invited me to his funeral but I guess he called it off laughter. But the National Liberty Party's Executive Committee, together with political experts, have put together a new system to the NLP. This is our first every primary election since forming in 4848 so that's why everything is new to us.
To elect our Imperator nomination, we implemented a delegate system. These delegates are chosen at the province level, each province receiving 487 delegates. Each delegate must vote for the candidate which received the majority vote within their voting region, 487 regions in each province altogether. I believe this system is fair and adds a little more entertainment to the entire process. We won't know who has the nomination until tomorrow night at the convention. Tonight, however, we will be receiving delegate votes from the Anle, Min and Jiaozhi provinces as soon as votes are counted. Actually, you should be receiving those numbers shortly. The first candidate to reach 1,218 will win the nomination.
But all-in-all Jin, this election year has been interesting to watch and participate in. As Leader Qing said earlier, we have seen a high participation rate. We have over 13,000 volunteers nationwide working tirelessly to elect an NLP majority this June.
TNN Anchor: Thank you both for joining me here on Election Night coverage. Stay tuned and we will bring you live coverage of the NLP convention. Thank you and good night.
commercialTNN Anchor: Welcome back to TNN's coverage of the 4853 NLP Primary Election Night. We are beginning to receive delegate counts for the Imperator's race and we have already received winners for the Grand Assembly nomination.

In the province of Min, Assemblyman Wei received 54% of the vote giving him 263 delegates Minster Chin's 224 delegates.
In the province of Jiaozhi, Minister Chin leads with 51% of the vote giving him 248 delegates to Assemblyman Wei's 239 delegates.

Party leaders and supporters are now left with the question of who will be the party's nominee. I'm Jin with TNN signing off.

Minister Chin took the stage to accept the party's nomination for Imperator. Let's look at his speech:
*cheers* Thank you! Thank you! I want to thank my family and friends who supported me wholeheartedly. I want to thank the thousands of volunteers who sacrificed their time and effort for this this campaign. They have worked tirelessly to deliver a victory not only to me but to every Yingdalan here and abroad. I want to thank the millions who voted for me and the millions who did not. I ran not for me but for each and every one of you who are sick and tired of living in a country that's stagnant, where the education is the same for everyone, where competition is no longer accepted but participation is praised.
Yingdala is on the verge of shaping into a nation that is not respected by many anymore. Our culture ran rampant throughout the world as we exported our tv shows and movies, music and dancing. Our economy controlled the very fabric of Terra where nations and regions had no choice but to do business with Yingdala. Our education far outweighed those of the elite education in the most developed countries, bringing with it the pride and joy of a nation that will never be on its knees. However, over hundreds of years, that all has changed.
The current administration that I am apart of under the leadership of Prime Minister Fan Lifen, has failed to appoint a representative to the World Congress. He has failed to negotiate trade deals that could benefit our people. He has failed to even work with any nation on anything. Under Prime Minister Fan's leadership and that of The Middle Path party, we have seen the decline of our economy, of our jobs, of our value; and what did the Prime Minister do? Nothing. He never once lifted a finger to revitalize failing communities. He never once lifted a finger to revitalize broken schools. He never once lifted a finger to bring us jobs or sound solutions to any of our issues. Day in and day out I have sent recommendation after recommendation to our Prime Minster in order to get the government working for you, yet, he turned a blind eye. Well, I can say to you all right here, right now, that I will turn a blind eye to a do-nothing government. As I stand here, I say to you directly Prime Minister Fan *looks directly into the camera*, I hereby resign as Minister of Trade and Industry. *cheers erupt*
As Minister of Trade and Industry for the last four years, I have worked directly with members of my party and those of society to get the ball moving on rebuilding our nation. It started with the LP Project where we constructed a 30 gigawatt nuclear power plant right here in Liangjiang that provided this community with thousands of jobs. There's more in store for all of Yingdala when I take office in June. I've worked with the Yingdala Trade Commission to increase our exports of rice and automobiles and in two weeks, we will be exporting millions of cultural products to other nations. I introduced a proposal to former Leader Qing Kun Ah a few years ago to tackle the economic issue and one of the proposals was reducing the essential tax rate from 10% to 0% over the next five years. Already, we have seen an increase in consumer spending; we have seen an increase in investments. This is what drives our economy, this is what drives Yingdala.
This is only the beginning. We have much work to do in so little time. From failing schools to failing infrastructure, we must rebuild from the ground up. We must build a nation of hope, dreams and wonder. We must build a nation that is loved and respected by every nation. We must build a nation that protects the old and the helpless. We must build a nation that protects life, liberty and property. We must build a nation where all receive equal opportunities to pursuit happiness, regardless of race, sex or creed.
This nation, our nation is on a path to redemption and I am leading us on that path. In a land whose population is above any other nations; in a land whose economy far outweighs any other nation, we must protect it at all costs. That is why I accept the National Liberty Party's nomination for Imperator of the State of Yingdala. Its time that we turn the tides from against us to working on behalf of us. Have faith in me and in the liberty party when we take the mantle of power in the coming months. Our party's motto is this: "We are the guiding light to a dark and desolate world." Let me be that guiding light for Yingdala and for the world. The State of Yingdala, our pride.
Thank you and may the heavens bless Yingdala and His Imperial and Royal Majesty Emperor Yu Xi Gu.
