OOC: Since this is an inconvenient time of week for KPF to do the election results, KPJP are happy to fill in, until we can get the elections reset to a more suitable schedule.
Election Results June 2746KNP(L) merge into KPJPAn early election was called in 2746, with the dissolution of the Leftist wing of the Kirlawan National Party.
For years their platform and that of the Kirlawan People's Justice Party had been drifting ever closer: both parties offered an overall populist stance, combining fiscal leftism with social conservatism, nationalism, and isolationism. Calls to merge the two had been heard both from some of their supporters, and also from outside commentators who had had increasing trouble telling apart the candidates of the two very similar parties. These were answered in 2746, when the KNP(L) announced that they would cease participation in Kirlawan politics, whereupon most of their members (except in the Orangeist stronghold of Dirlana) quickly transferred to the KPJP.

http://classic.particracy.net/viewnews. ... 9&nation=4PresidencyThe Leftists' departure left the KNP without a candidate for the Presidency, as their remaining wing, the Orangeists, did not field one.
Incumbent President Giovanni de Luca of the KPJP (also endorsed by the Kirlawan Popular Front) and former President Basilia Heinlein of the Kirlawan Austrian Party (also endorsed by the Democratic Freedom Movement) met for the third time. Unlike in the previous election, de Luca led after the first round, yet won the second round by a smaller margin than before.
Richard Ford, a new candidate from the Urban Party of Kirlawa, placed third.
General AssemblyAs expected, most KNP(L) voters switched to the KPJP (boosting the fuchsia-cerise to their best result in a generation, since the election of 2719), and some returned to the Orangeist wing, with a few dispersing to each of Kirlawa's other parties.

NuchtmarkThe largest KNP(L) contingent had been in Nuchtmark. Their gain by the KPJP not only has sent the Leftist Coalition into the lead here by one seat, but also has conferred the governorship, with Padraig Greene of the well-known Greene family returning to his old office.
