Marquis Names Son as Heir to Marquessate
Marquis Elad has named his son, Alex, as heir to the Youk Marquessate in Yodukan, and is expected to hand over the reigns of the RCP after the next election, an election the Marquis expects to win, to serve a further term as Governor-General, a position he has held since 4335 when the position was created in a deal with the Progressives.
Alex, at just 29, would become the youngest RCP Leader and is expected to serve alongisde his wife, the current Chancellor and Imperial Seal-Bearer, Rebecca Stinson. The union is an official recognition of the alliance formed between the 2 families when the RCP was formed, with the Stinson's holding the Deputy Leadership too.
The RCP have gone from strength to strength under Elad's leadership from a low of just 9% of the seats in the Imperial Diet, to currently holding 47.82% of the seats, and leading a Coalition Government since 4320, first as Prime Minister, then as Imperial Chancellor and now leading the country as the Governor-General as well. The RCP are expecting to remain the largest Party after next years election.
The RCP have a long history of leadership, from being involved in the restoration of the Monarchy, to leading the Yes vote in the Artanian Union referendum which was voted for by the people before we joined the AU. Marquis Elad is said to be looking at his legacy, as he will resign in 4350 after 40 years as Leader of the RCP.
