BREAKING - Prime Minister Alfred Herbert Page announces resignation
Alfred Herbert Page
Alfred Herbert Page has announced his intention to resign as Prime Minister of the Nationalist Gold Union early this morning. Page said he will be formally handing his resignation in after the Christian Right chooses a new leader, who will succeed Page as the Prime Minister.
The resignation is amid Page's government's failure to address the economic depression of the Nationalist Gold Union as well as criticism for Page's weakness on several key foreign policy issues.
The Christian Right party will choose a new General Secretary by the end of the month, and by then, Prime Minister Page will formally resign his office and the Leader Paul Philip IV will ask the new General Secretary to form a government.
"It has been an honor of my life to serve the Nationalist Gold Union," Page said in a speech outside his office in Caspia, "and whoever succeeds me, I'm sure, will be a steadfast and hard-working head of government."
Two candidates for Christian Right General Secretary election have already made their intention to run public: John Paquin (Deputy PM and Foreign Minister) and Seward Kendal von Grimmelshausen (Defense Minister).
Page's term comes to an end about two years after he took the office.
