Election Results
As the election results roll in, the Civic Forum Headquarters erupted in celebration. An expected complete defeat of the party became what is an 'upset victory' to the Forum which started the evening dead last in the seat count. Jiang Zongren addressed his supporters, saying that the nation has correctly chosen the path towards Republicanism and Free Market Economics. On the other hand, youth front leader Tang Zijing said that the rise in support was due to the rising Republican movement, and calls the victory 'the justification for an All-Indralan Revolution for the establishment of a Sixth Republic'.
On the opposite side of the street, the Republican Revolution headquarters welcomed reporters from the Gongming Daily for a special visit. The headquarters seemed like a normal office like any other, but one interesting revelation is the posters scattered across the office seemed to point to a specific candidate for the upcoming leadership election.

Following some investigation, it is found that Chen Tianwei, the man on the poster, is a founding member of the Civic Forum. However, he has not been active in party or even national politics, and instead served as local council member in the province of Han, the stronghold of Civic Forum which they held until the election. He is a former servicemen, and was kicked out of the army following 'suspicious behaviour' in the forces. Contrary to the popular party line of Centrism and Anti-Jienism, he often refers to the traditional ideals of the nation, and voted many times against party-backed legislation of privatisation. If he is indeed the challenger to Jiang in the next leadership election, the party may see their political line shift like never before.
