MInister of Justice Kyle Woodbury, with Freedom House Leader Ashley Cooper
The Freedom Party has come out on top of the most recent election by a slim margin, obtaining 170 seats of the Jelbanian Parliament, along with 3 of the Provinces Governorships, placing them in a slim, but noticeable lead for control of Parliament. Party Chairwoman and Minister of Internal Affairs Angel Ross has already gone through the ceremonial process of being requested by the Emperor to become Prime Minister. It is a matter of days before Ross announces her plan for her new coalition.
This is the first time in as many years as can be remembered that the Grand Nationalists Party lost control of the house, and the first time that another party leader in recent years has been asked by the Emperor to form government, something that isn't lost on Freedom Party higher ups, who have, in the short time since the party was founded, managed to become the top party in Jelbania. Freedom Party House Leader, Ashley Cooper was optimistic about the coming term.
This has been a massive achievement and we have the followers of the Freedom Party to thank, and the successes of the Freedom Party Stalwarts that turned out in droves, and organized our registered members to come to the polls. But we have a lot of work to, this is just the beginning.
Under new election rules brought on by Bill F-17, the Freedom Party will only have 4 years to guide the country before another election, a significantly shorter time then the Grand Nationalists Party traditionally held at a full six years between elections before, and to convince the Jelbanian people they should remain the top party in charge.
