THE PPJ BACK, FORMS REPUBLICAN PARTY
The Progress Party of Jakania once played a crucial role in Jakania, being the leader of the pack in a former coalition called the Contract with Jakania Coalition (CJC) which ruled for several decades. After big turmoil inside the coalition, and ultimately ramblings inside the party, they decided to dissolve it and push their influences onto other parties. Finally, in November of 3116, they decided to reawaken the once national giant to ensure Jakania a better future.
The party is now called The Republican Party of Jakania, or RPJ. The Fitzgerald-Clan, which founded the great party, is still keeping their positions. The current Chairman is Mr. Matthew Fitzgerald.

Will they win the next election?
The next election is in 3119, one and a half years from now, but it’s surely time to put together some analysis. The Financial Statistics Office reports that current GDP growth last 1.5 years is at -3.48%, which is a major upset to the ruling party, the United Jakania Democrat Party (UJDP). When the election comes around in October 3119, there’ll be the question of which party can present the best economic policy. There’ll also be the issue of coalitions. As the CJC has died out, there’s really a free-for-all in who co-operates with whom. “Eventually, as I see it, we’ll have a Republican Party coalition with the Radical Republicans. The Radicals are farther to the left of the Republicans, but they’re not nearly as leftist as the UJDP. It’ll be a ‘lesser of evils’ discussion for the Republican Party.” Said the Chief Political Analyst here at Jakania News Central, Mr. Robert Portman.
Matthew Fitzgerald is rumored to hold a press conference soon to launch his bid to become the next Supreme Governor of Jakania. We’ll keep you updated here at the JNC.
