Aerlig Elections Return an Upset

Adelwin, Aerlig - The Republic of Aerlig recently completed its ninth set of elections, with an upset win to the newly formed Liberal Republican Party.

The Liberal Republicans won two of the five seats in the National Parliament, and are now leading a minority government under the leadership of party leader Kevin, who has been yet to show up to accept the position. In the meantime, Deputy Prime Minister Zachary Klass has been leading the nation's affairs.

The win was an upset for the incumbent Prime Minister, Lachlan Powers, who had held the top position in government since the Republic's third Parliament back in 2001. Mr Powers, currently serving as Leader of the Opposition, has not given up on the nation, however, and is expected to be inducted this week as the Head of State, the Protector of the Republic.
