BREAKING NEWS: Boltokhov out, Yukawa in as PM.
July, 5167
Cise - Yukawa Mototsune, the political front-runner of the Golden Dawn, has been named Prime Minister following the resignation of scandal-clad former Prime Minister Taman Boltokhov who some claim will be arrested soon by the police. Yukawa has promised massive reforms and Boltokhov's former party, the Liberal Democratic Party has found itself in a place of minority after years of domination in the realm of politics. The rise of the People's Democratic Party, a party made up of largely Terran Patriarchal and Ahadmist ethnic Kepo's from south-eastern Utari Mosir has given competition to the LDP in recent months. Abdulaziz Zokirjanov, leader of the PDP has been seen at meetings with the new Prime Minister in the past several weeks and debate remains if the PDP will overtake the Liberal Democratic Party in the September, 5167 elections. Yukawa's Golden Dawn remains the top party in the Legislative Council and the Speaker of the Legislative Council Arashiro Matsuyo has hoped that the Golden Dawn can continue its relationship with other parties and remain in government.
Yukawa's appointment on July 7th was met with protests and rallies across the country, notably in the majority Kepo areas of the country where some see ethnic conflict as a means to stoke support for their respective peoples. Utari Mosir and wider Mosriak society has often been a hot-bed of tensions for ethnic conflict. For several centuries the ethnic Hulstrian dominated the military and government, notably in a means to keep control over the country but in recent years many of the native groups of Utari Mosir have risen, most notably after the Ostlandic invasion in which the Kepo people became equal partners in government and status within the country. Kepo nationalism have given rise to a number of other notable movements, especially in related Kepo ethnic groups. For instance, several years ago there was a major push in the far east of the country to recognize the ethnic Kepo groups that largely subscribe to the Terran Patriarchal Church and Ahmadi religions that seeped in through the southern border with Mina. This prompted the formation of the People's Democratic Party, a big-tent party that brings together TPC and Ahmadi followers but remains an uneasy alliance.
Yukawa's cabinet remains largely Utari, with some Kepo's involved from fringes of the LDP.
