New Prime Minister for Aerlig

Adelwin, Aerlig- After former Prime Minister Lachlan Powers' term of more than one and a half years, it took just nineteen days for the fourth Prime Minister of the Republic, Mr Kevin Dobson, to be dismissed as head of the government.

Mr Dobson was dismissed from the Office of the Prime Minister by Protector Lachlan Powers this week, after the Protector called for a new vote of confidence due to the Prime Ministers inactivity. Mr Dobson, who has claimed the post from Mr Powers just weeks before in a 3-2 vote of parliament, was replaced with the unanimous election of newcomer Zachery Klass as the nations Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Klass was quick to move the government into gear, appointing his cabinet of ministers in just a few days. Former Prime Minister Powers, the Leader of the Opposition, was awarded with the Deputy Prime Ministership, while National Party Member Jouker Sendler was granted the Internal Affairs Portfolio. New MP Thoenen Helios has taken up the position as Aerlig's Minister of External Affairs.

The Protector announced later in the week that a by-election may soon be held to fill the vacancy left in Parliament by inactive member Dobson.
