The 2014 Election season came to a close Friday night with results being tallied throughout the night and into Saturday when the process was complete. Polling officials announced at 3:00 P.M yesterday the results for over 1300 elections in positions throughout the Confederate and local governments in which many different parties won representation. However, in the Confederate elections for the entire Magistratus, half of the Senatus and the President of the nation, the party Factio Dominium (fmr. Factio Potentia) dominated the polls after what is now being declared an extremely successful campaigning by Consul Quinton Cipius against the "Appeasement" policies of the former majority party, the Factio Bellatorius.
-Present-Elect Simon Gregore of Factio Dominium
In the Presidential campaign, candidate Simon Gregore won out over the Incumbent, Sasha Lucia, who held the office for two terms. Gregore greatly aided Cipius's efforts to remove the Factio Bellatorius by touring the country and giving a large number of speeches all dealing with the ongoing Merickian hostilities with the Kyro Republic and Lolloh; hostilities which under President Lucia had been greatly ignored and allowed to grow into varying degrees of threat levels. Gregore's election comes as a surprise to many pollsters who had proposed that the efforts of Cipius would not only keep Gregore from winning this election, but also hinder the chances of Cipius rewinning the upcoming Consul election next year.
While the Factio Dominium's success has been good for some and been quite the reason to hold Festivals, the government of the Gentem of Rerno has delivered an ultimatum to the Confederate Government declaring that if Gregore is allowed to be swore into office, Rerno will secede. Since around the mid 1980s, Rerno has been a stronghold for the Factio Societas, strongly opposing the right-wing politics of the rest of the nation. Up to yet, nothing major has come of this except for occasional arguments between the Gentem and Confederate governments over taxing rights, making this a new low for Rerno. President Sasha Lucia spoke on the matter this morning, reminding the Governor of Rerno of the Session Clause of the Merick Isles Constitution preventing a Gentem from seceding.
