Today the Lotus Party officially launched their campaign for the June 4258 General Election. Wu Hán gave a rousing speech to the audience claiming that "soon, a new dawn will wash over this country, with it a wave of compassion and innovation, and we shall be reborn!" His speech was met by thunderous applause and cheering in the Convention Hall, which was largely attended by the party faithful, Jienist clergy, Labour activists, Student activists, and small business leaders, among many others. Wu Hán asked Indralans to "put their faith in [him], in the Lotus Party, and deliver a majority mandate so that [they] can get to work on building the Indrala of our dreams." Wu took no questions as he was quickly wisked away to the first scheduled campaign stop in Mazhou, Min.

Outside of the Convention Hall, National Party Spokesperson Thomas Wang answered questions from the media. When asked about rumored coalition talks with the Nationalist Party, he had this to say:

As our leader said in his speech today, we are seeking to form a majority government. Why should we offer anything less before the votes have even been cast? If Indralans don't grant us a majority government then we will look to our colleagues in the National Conference to see where we can go from there, but we will only ever contribute to a government that puts Indralans first.

When asked if the Lotus Party would support the Republic's Conservatives in forming government after the election, Wang said:

As I said before, we are seeking a majority mandate. We are doing this to rectify all the grave decisions undertaken by the Government in power now. So no, we will not be supporting the Republic's Conservatives.

When asked about National Democrat Chairman Yuán Cháo's remarks given in Hazhou, Wang said:

He's a little obsessed with Mr. Wu, don't you think? I mean, a whole press conference? It's cute.

The election will be held on the 15th of June, 4258.
