5th Election in 3 Years See Possible Stability as White Rose Regain Lost GroundIt was the 5th election in 3 years, no one knew what was going to happen as the Communists had been banned and the Fascists were unable to contest this single election, and it benefited the White Rose. In the run-up to polling day, Frederick Stinson confirmed the White Rose would work with the SDP in the new Diet after the 2 parties had been able to repair their fractured relationship, and it means the White Rose won the Governor Generalship, as well as becoming joint largest Party in the Diet.
Marquis Samuel Weston has been elected Governor General, the first time the White Rose has won in 17 years, although there have been an historic 10 elections in that 17 year period. He continues the ongoing tradition that every Marquis Weston has held the top elected office in Luthori at some stage while they governed Youk Marquessate in Yodukan. He won in the second round with a convincing 32.8 million votes (59% ) to the SLP's 22.6 million (41%)
Turnout dropped slightly compared to 2 months ago, but remained at a healthy 86% as the White Rose took the plurality of votes and 124 seats, the same as the SLP. The SDP took 123 seats an the HTPP took 74, creating a more stable Diet with just 4 Parties represented.
The White Rose and SDP are expected to form a Coalition Government, it will be the first Government the White Rose have taken part in since 4389, and the SDP continue to serve in Government since 4384 when they first entered a Coalition with the White Rose.
