Xochitl Valferra (left) and Claudia Cesaire (right)Eroncourt, Joviant: This morning final votes are being counted in Région Arloux after the first round of elections in
Lourenne ended in an effort to elect the new High Chancellor of the kingdom. Current High Chancellor, Marinette
Depaine, is stepping down after four long terms as High Chancellor. Depaine, part of the center-right faction of the
National Royalist Party, endorsed Claudia Cesaire, for the High Chancellor position. Among others Claudia Cesaire
appears to be the favorite over all the other candidates who were on the ballot. Jean Luc, Xochitl Valferra, Joel
de Vernon, and Marie Isildon were all part of the ballot as well and each part of their respective faction within the
NRP. Xochitl Valferra part of the Orinco Faction and the Social Democratic faction came in second place last night
way ahead of Jean Luc of the Social Liberal faction, Vernon from the Right faction, and Isildon from the Centrist
faction. Vernon, Isildon, and Luc were not able to pass the 30% threshold needed to move on the the next round of
voting next year. Next year's election will be between Xochitl Valferra and Caludia Cesire. The next election will be
a test of ideology and a test for the largest minority in the country, the Orinco peoples. Valferra, on her campaign,
has promised that she will expand several rights for Orincos in Lourenne as well as protect Orinco and other minority
workers from the "unfair" policies the center-right faction has upheld for years. Cesaire promised status quo growth
and success that has been prominent in Lourenne for decades. Lourennais citizens are anxious for the next election.
Will numbers reach the record established during the Orinco Movement? Or will citizens decide to keep things the
way they are? More to come.
