President Miguel Mansilha reelected to third-term, surprising results keep far-right party as the biggest in the National Assembly
SANGON - It's a result many didn't expect to come but it came. The National Conservative Union of Tukarali only lost 2 seats and the People's Socialist Party was the biggest loser of the night with fewer 55 seats. This comes as surprise after the party being the most active one in the National Assembly since the last election. The Democratic SocioLiberal Party, despite its abstentions, got more 45 seats than it had before. Both the Tukarese Democratic Union and the Left Patriotic Front had small gains. This election maintains the majority of the current government however it doesn't guarantee political stability.
Sofia Henriques, the spokesperson of the People's Socialist Party, said the party isn't guaranteed to stay in the government and work with the Tukarese Democratic Union. She has opened herself to the possibility of early elections. Other parties are skeptic to that idea and have shown satisfaction with the results. In the streets, the reactions are mixed but many agree the country may not be in a stable political situation. The formation of a new government won't be an easy task but the President Miguel Mansilha, who got reelected for a third-term and holds high approval ratings, has said he'll try to do the best he can to avoid having the country in a bad political situation. He also said it's essential to keep the National Conservative Union out of power. Thousands of people have gone to the streets of Sangon to ask for a fast government formation and to oppose any political instability.
