FORMER TFA PARTY LEADER TROTSKY ADDRESSES MEDIA REGARDING OWENS DEATH; MOURNS HIS LOSS
The TFA and I, Hugo Trotsky, are deeply saddened by the loss of ARP Chairman Jason Owens. The working relationship between us was in many ways characteristic of the interactions between our two parties in general: We didn't agree on a whole lot, but we got along pretty well. We've always found them to be both civil allies and rivals in government. Our party has a lot of respect for the late Jason Owens. Aloria is worse off without him.

CTF ENDORSES INTERNAL CANDIDATE FOR 3781 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, EVAN LLYWELYN
With Arik Waters declining to run for another term despite his tentative endorsement by the ARM, the CTF has announced they have nominated their own candidate for President, Evan Llywelyn, MP for Ultran. Llywelyn, 55 was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force who flew over 350 sorties before retiring at the age of 42 to enter politics. In his ten years in Parliament his tenure has been focused on passing mandatory civilian service and increasing the power of the Alorian forces, with less focus than some other party members on religious issues. Despite this, the Party Chairman, Prime Minister and Alorian Archbishop Bismarck has approved of the nomination.
Llywelyn is also known as one of the most charismatic members of the CTF, and was reportedly an excellent military officer, with great leadership skills. Rosa Cadawaller, an analyst from the Organization for Governmental Transparency, believes that these were the decisive characteristics in his nomination.
Cadawaller said, "The TFA has been looking for another figurehead with Prime Minister Bismarck needing to moderate his positions in the name of cooperation upon taking both the Prime Minister's office and the Archbishop position. Llywelyn fits the criteria despite his history of not being a hardliner on religion like Bismarck or some other party leaders."
