Taoiseach Appointed

ŠÂHANŠÂHI-TARA, CCT, GRAND COMMONWEALTH - The elections for the first Taoiseach of the Grand Commonwealth has completed, with Aerlig citizen Lachlan Powers being elected.

The Majlis-i-Shahan-Ri voted unanimously to install Mr Powers as the nations first Premier, after the Babkhan nomination, Darius Rugahi, stated that he did not feel he would be able to contribute the amount of time needed to properly occupy the office.

Mr Powers has been quick to use his mandate to begin forming an Executive Cabinet of the Commonwealth, calling for citizens to apply for the positions of Foreign Affairs Advisor, Defence Advisor and Director of the Secretariat. As the Taoiseach, Powers has been given a large amount of power over the affairs of the nation, but through these actions it appears that he is prepared to share out a large proportion of the workload between the citizens.

Applications for the Cabinet positions are set to close next Wednesday, before Powers announces his Cabinet at the end of the week.
