Galdes-Bajada set to replace Levanzin in aftermath of PLR wipeout

Qart Qildar, Cildania - Edera Galdes-Bajada has been chosen as the new leader of the Radical Labour Party after the party hit a record in terms of number of votes and seats at the most recent general election. Galdes-Bajada was elected unopposed following the resignation of Mattew Levanzin.

Mrs. Galdes-Bajada has been a key figure in the party for almost 20 years and is seen as a steady pair of hands after a tumultuous few years in which the PLR has suffered two catastrophic election defeats. Her party’s remaining Deputies expressed unanimous confidence in her ability to lead them going forward.

In a speech before the media Galdes-Bajada said, “whilst I am ever so grateful and honoured to have been chosen by my colleagues as the next leader of the Radical Labour Party, this is by no means the circumstances that I am happy to see this party in. These past two election results have been disastrous for us and something has got to change.”

She further continued, “It is time for the PLR to encourage a program that supports economic growth, supports social freedoms & appeals to a broad base of Cildanian society. We want to support every citizen, whether Gziri, Hebilean or Yeudi, to be able to achieve the best for themselves and their family.”

She finished off her speech by saying, “there is a long road ahead of us now and I am not sure what will happen next but all I ask for is the full support of my colleagues, the party members and hopefully the electorate.”

With the next government still uncertain it remains to be seen if the PLR, now led by the incumbent Education & Culture Minister, will have any role to play in it.
