Presidential Elections
The Presidential campaign was relatively quiet. The dominance of the Conservative Party became clear as Seth and Spencer received few votes. The two Conservative candidates Parker and Luke combined for 75% of the vote share. Ultimately, Parker I walked away with 50% of the popular vote, reversing the trend of the previous election against his leadership.
Aftermath
Although the elections were quiet and all candidates received an office of some sort, the Secundomian political scene would not be calm for long. Shortly after taking office, Parker announced his cabinet picks, leaving out some of the more inactive citizens. His choices resulted in significant controversy, kicking off the Cabinet Crisis.
