National Assembly Official
First meeting of the newly elected National Assembly organized
6th August 5394
After the elections two weeks ago, the newly elected National Assembly met today, with the MPs discussing a wide range of topics involving the political landscape of Kimlien. As the Assembly's composition is now 60 military appointees, 30 Kimlien League for Democracy, and 10 Party of Solidarity and Development, the PSD was given the role to form the government despite KLD victory in the last elections due to the appointees. The President (who is both the ceremonial leader and chief-executive) will be Minh Giang after 66 votes in favour of Minh Giang, 29 votes in favour of Loan Chi, and 5 votes in abstention. Giang promised to enact various democratic opening reforms, re-opening the discussion on the role of the military at the National Assembly and pledging to reduce the number of appointees to 30%, while the Kimlien League for Democracy sees the reform as insufficient and supports a completely civilian legislature that the military has no place in it. In Kimlien's first contested legislative elections since the coup a relatively pluralistic legislature was elected in place, which has been seen as a positive step towards greater democracy.
