Official Announcement and Primary Elections

Official Announcement

Wilhelm Keitel's Official Announcement for The October Chancellor Election

On October 14th, during Wilhelm Keitel's De-Facto chancellery following the removal of Angel Leon, he would announce the October Chancellor Election, which would be the first election since the nukes that removed 800 people from The Authority. Instantly, many people began signing up, mostly for the Conservative and Clear Sky Parties, while the National Alternative and Social Democrats had a few people.

Primaries

The Primary Elections were held between October 14th and October 19th. When it comes to competition, this election was an improvement compared to the September Election, as three parties had primaries compared to just one. The Social Democrats did not have a primary, as the party quickly rallied behind Phantom.

Conservative Primary

There was an extreme amount of competition within the conservative primary, with many signing up in an attempt to be the nominee. Unfortunately for many competitors, Wilhelm Keitel was quickly nominated as the candidate for The Conservative Party.

Clear Sky Primary

The Clear Sky Primary was also competitive, although much smaller. After a short amount of voting, Miya Hill would receive the nomination as Clear Sky after the concession of Barack Obama from the primary race.

National Alternative Primary

The National Alternative Primary was between two major candidates, one was Gustav Husak, the leader of Communist Slovakia and the acting party leader, and Angel Leon, the previous winner of the election. Wilhelm would announce that Angel Leon had won the primary, much to Gustav's dismay. However, after an overview by the electoral commission, it was revealed that some votes for Angel were fraudulent and that Gustav had actually won over 2/3 of the primary vote. After this was made aware to Wilhelm, he would announce the change of the nominee.

Social Democrat Primary

Due to a lack of competition within the party, The Union of Social Democrats was quickly able to selected PhantomUltima, The Party Leader, as the nominee for their party.

Ultranationalist Party

Due to the late entry of the Ultranationalist Party into the race, there was not a primary, and Artyom Hill was selected as the candidate.

During the beginning of the debate, Obama and Phantom were absent, but would join later on. The debate concluded after an hour of arguing with the final question asking what the candidates had to say to the members of The Authority, with many of them wishing for the members to vote.

During the election, many claimed that Wilhelm was committing Voter Fraud, as these allegations for fraudulent voting were prevalent in previous elections. However, Tao Makarov-Keitel confirmed the votes to be legitimate.

Aftermath

Wilhelm was announced the winner, maintaining his position of Chancellor after being given the title in Early October due to the absence of Larry, who took over after Sceplicur nuked TA, who took over because Angel was inactive.

This is the first election that the SPD won any electoral votes, and the first election SPD was the major rival party. Both Phantom and Tao considered this a victory for their party. Gustav did not, as 33 electoral votes is a hard fall from the victory his party's previous candidate had obtained.
