The PPD made massive gains in the latest elections, gaining 15% on the PLL. Prime Minister Arthur Sargent, the leader of the PPD, spoke afterwards before a large crowd in the PPD convention center at PPD headquarters outside of Valois. (Full speech text below)
Thank everyone, thank you so much (applause)! We have accomplished so much tonight! Lourenne is barrelling towards the Sapphire Age (Applause)! Now there are a few people we need to thank tonight, but first, let us have a moment of silence for our good friend Fabien Cartier (silence). So, first, let's thank Fabien and his family for their continued service to this great nation. I plan on knighting Mrs. Carter for her service. Also, let's thank Hector for his endless campaigning across Lourenne (applause)! And he'll do a great job once again as Governor of Luçande. Also, I'd like to thank my wife Claudia for her everlasting patience and her willingness to campaign after giving birth to our second child (applause). I would like to thank Giselle and Leo for being so good while Mommy and Daddy are travelling. Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who has donated money, campaigned, knocked on doors, and inspired people to vote for us. This is a great victory. Into the Sapphire Age (Applause)!
Coalition talks are expected to start soon, with the expectation being that the PPD will either keep the seats they have or gain one or two seats in cabinet, depending upon whether the PLL will agree to it.
