Early political career

His first term in the Courts were marked by his support of the recognition of the Daaggian language's status as official language in the Kingdom.

Post-Waaddy era

Mittyzöegaad Congress and IDF leadership

On 16 January 2019, Pelutxinná became one of the participants of the Congress of Mittyzöegaad, and as such is credited as a co-author of the present constitution of Ikerlàndia. Upon arriving in Mittyzöegaad, Pelutxinná became involved in the Marian University of Daagdeeg, teaching law and political science and giving conferences on the legal development of Ikerlàndia and Ikerlandian history.

Vice President and constitutional reform campaign

Right from the start, there were tensions within the coalition government. By January 2020, a mere two months after the inauguration of the government, Pelutxinná was openly criticizing Waatmaat and the Social Democrats for not "listening to the Democratic concerns", namely the topic of constitutional reform.

Opposition leader and foundation of new party

The 2021 general election resulted in major gains for the Social Democrats, which became the first largest force in Parliament with 51.4%. As the Democratic leader, Pelutxinná took the position of leader of the Opposition.

Under Pelutxinná plan; Waatmaat's inability to sway the Democrats resulted in her losing a leadership spill against Laawaa Baabylla in late 2020 and the subsequent dissolution of her government. Baabylla's administration finally reached an agreement with the Democrats in 2020, when the New Frontier plan went ahead and the territory of Jaajö was claimed by the Federation.

Premiership

The Democrats were rewarded with their best-ever result at the 2023 general election, gaining over 55% of the vote and achieving the first parliamentary majority in an election by any political party since 2018. Pelutxinná was shortly afterwards granted the King's mandate to form the 12th government of Ikerlàndia, which took office on 1 January 2023 when it was confirmed by the 5th Parliament in its inaugural session.
