Shock win!!! Adriana McCarthy is promoted as President of the Conservative Democrats with a staggering 52.3% backing from ministers.
In November 4591 Holly Anne Morley stepped down as President of the Conservative Democrats after recently inheriting a 21.9 Million Solentar estate from her late grandfather who passed in August 4591. Holly Anne Morley' has been named "the most influential minister of the conservative democrats" and the "centre-right queen" who solidly campaigned for centrism to become more involved in Solentian politics. Holly Anne Morley, worked consistently hard with Vice President Dylan Thomas to assure the centre-right regime was implemented. This sure paid off. Holly negotiated a coalition agreement with the Military Nationalist Party and New Order Party who quickly adopted the centre-right regime. The three parties have worked for better education, more rights for citizens and environmental regulations to reduce global warming. Holly will forever be missed by the Conservative Democrats spending a dedicated 18 years in government.
In March 4592, the Conservative Democrats launched their first ever leadership-campaign which only included Conservative Democrat ministers. The ministers vote for their chosen Minister to be appointed as the President of the Conservative Democrats.
Four Ministers battled for the leadership; Sir Aaron Nelmes, Adriana McCarthy, Allen Santiago and Bethany Anstee.
Total of 73 ministers voted.
The results are as per below;
Sir Aaron Nelmes - 22.4% of support from ministers of the conservative democrats. (16)
Adriana McCarthy - 52.3% of support from ministers of the conservative democrats. (38)
Allen Santiago - 14.7% of support from ministers of the conservative democrats. (11)
Bethany Anstee - 11.6% of support from ministers of the conservative democrats. (8)
The winner was announced earlier today at 4pm by the Senate of the Democratic Solentian Republic in a private meeting. Former Minister of Justice Adriana McCarthy will represent the Conservative Democrats for the foreseeable as President. Adriana has a few words.
I am delighted by the support from fellow ministers to allow me to represent the party I have loved since it was founded in 4573. I am completely overwhelmed that 38 ministers supported my campaign as president for the Conservative Democrats. I am estatic that I am trusted, believed in and seen as a strong leader to move this improving party forward. My main priority as President will be to improve the justice system- more information will be clarified once a bill of justice reform has been produced. Thank-you.
