Pro-Peace Coalition Defeats Government
Top: Parliamentary results. Bottom: Presidential results.
The pro-peace coalition has defeated the incumbent government after a highly contentious election. The incumbent President Ashon Keambiroiro has largely been blamed by the public for the loss of the Gayata archipelago to Vascania in a war he has still refused to concede. After a number of bombings by the Vascanians on Kurageri soil, the public mood moved sharply against the incumbent president and his populist party, while support for the social-democratic and pan-dovani Kurageri Reform Party increased. The eventual result was a victory for the KRP (shown above in green) and their allies the Worker's Group (shown in yellow).
In a system that uses the alternative vote for parliamentary and presidential elections, Ashon Keambiroiro and his party struggled to get the support of anyone besides their core group of hard-right supporters. Turnout also decreased from historic heights at the last election, as many poorer Kurageri citizens were disappointed with the military performance of their government. The new government, led by new President Malaya Andaiye - sister of the former president and current mayor of Kuga Afiya Andaiye - has promised to seek peace with Vascania and to develop the nation's natural resources, using the revenues from new trade to develop the standard of living in regional areas.
