Jan Haling Hails Victory
President Jan Haling has been declared the winner of the December 4034 elections, in a triumphant first-round win with 52% of the vote. The Socialdemokratiska Partiet's Paul Baker hoped to capitalize on the parliamentary gains in the last election, but ultimately came in second with about 47% of the vote. The Independent Progressive candidate failed to gain traction, and received less than 1%. Jan Haling in his speech thanked Paul Baker for a rousing challenge to "keep him honest", but ultimately declared "the spirit of Telamon is the spirit of free enterprise".
On the parliamentary side of things, Parliamentary Leader Wilhelm Westerwel found himself with a narrow majority, with 54 seats to the 46 of SP. The former Statsminister and younger brother of party founder Gustaf Westerwel thanked the voters, but ultimately said he was going to retire from front-bench politics and would not serve as Statsminister. The young Henrik Oberling, the spry grandson of Telamon President Karl Oberling, will take over the leadership of the party. Young Oberling took the stage to tell the people that it was time to come together and work to restore the entrepreneurial spirit that made Telamon great. He also spoke highly of Fmr. Statsminister Westerwel, saying that he was responsible for victory after victory.
